Snowfall warning issued for Coquihalla Highway
Posted June 15, 2024 12:42 pm.
Take extra caution if you are planning to drive the Coquihalla Highway this weekend, as Environment Canada is warning of possible snow on a number of major highways.
The agency says a weather system will bring a cool air mass to the B.C. Interior Saturday and Sunday, which may combine with some heavy precipitation to form snow at mountain passes.
It says up to five centimetres may fall on parts of the Coquihalla from Hope to Kamloops, the Okanagan Connector from Merritt to Kelowna, at Allison Pass on Highway 3 from Hope to Princeton, and on the Kootenay and Rogers passes.
Environment Canada has also issued a number of other weather warnings for central and northeastern B.C., with the northern Peace River region and areas near Fort Nelson slated to see up to 50 millimetres of rain through Saturday.
