Snowfall with total amounts of 15 to 25 cm is expected. Where: Coquihalla Highway from Hope to Merritt. When: Tuesday and Tuesday night. Remarks: Falling freezing levels will accompany an influx of moisture on Tuesday as a low pressure system crosses the province from northwest to southeast. Other hazards: Strong winds at times will accompany this system and give limited visibility in blowing snow. ### Travel will likely be challenging. Weather in the mountains can change suddenly resulting in hazardous driving conditions. Road conditions are available at https://www.drivebc.ca/. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to BCstorm@ec.gc.ca or post reports on X using #BCStorm.
