More snow for Coquihalla

Another day another snowfall warning for the Coquihalla.

Environment Canada is warning snowfall amounts could reach as much as 30 centimetres.

A strong Pacific frontal system is rapidly approaching the southwest coast of B.C.

Periods of snow will begin falling on highway passes this morning, and become heavy at times this evening and through tonight. The Coquihalla Summit could receive 25 to 35 cm snowfall accumulation, while Allison Pass and Kootenay Pass could receive 20 to 25 cm of snowfall accumulation.

Snowfall should ease early Thursday morning as the system moves through to the east.

Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. Rapidly accumulating snow could make travel difficult over some locations. If visibility is reduced while driving, turn on your lights and maintain a safe following distance.

Weather in the mountains can change suddenly resulting in hazardous driving conditions.
