The weather agency says Highway 3 from Grand Forks to Creston is forecasted to see heavy snow at times into today, with the highest accumulation near Kootenay Pass.

Environment Canada warns that the snowfall is coming from a Pacific frontal system that is forecasted to intensify overnight.

Some amount of snow is also expected over Paulson Summit, and motorists are asked to be alert as visibility and road conditions may deteriorate rapidly.
