Service Notice – February 2026: The Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) CAP Service undergoes changes from time to time as the business of alerting evolves. For 2026, changes are expected to include... 1) ECCC's initiative to introduce free-form polygons to represent the true threat area of a weather hazard is tentatively set for Spring 2026 deployment. Data changes will appear in CAP following this deployment and 2) other minor improvements and corrections. For more information on these changes: https://comm.collab.science.gc.ca/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/dd_info@comm.collab.science.gc.ca/ | Notification de service – février 2026: Le service du PAC d’Environnement et Changement climatique Canada (ECCC) subit périodiquement des changements à mesure que le système d’alerte évolue. Pour 2026, il y aura des changements incluant... 1) l’initiative d’ECCC visant à introduire des polygones libres pour représenter la véritable zone de menace d’un danger météorologique devrait être déployée provisoirement au printemps 2026. Des changements de données apparaîtront dans le PAC à la suite de ce déploiement et 2) d’autres améliorations et corrections mineures.

Snowfall with total amounts of 15 to 25 cm is expected. Where: Highway 3 - near Kootenay Pass. When: From now until late Wednesday night. Remarks: A low pressure system continues to affect the province tonight and Wednesday. Low freezing levels mean precipitation will fall as snow over the highway passes. Snow will persist tonight and tomorrow morning, easing temporarily Wednesday afternoon, before a final burst of snowfall is expected Wednesday evening. Snow will also impact Paulson Summit but will end earlier than Kootenay Pass and total amounts will be much less. A total of 10 to 15 cm is forecast. 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.

Allow extra time for travel. If driving, turn on your lights, slow down and maintain a safe following distance. The site https://shiftintowinter.ca/ reminds drivers to know before you go. Adjust to winter driving behaviour and use winter tires and chains.
