Snowfall Warning
9:24 p.m. PST Wednesday 25 December 2024

Snowfall Warning in effect for:
  • Coquihalla Highway - Hope to Merritt
Around 15 cm of snow is expected along the Coquihalla Highway - Hope to Merritt.

When: Thursday morning until Thursday night.

Where: Coquihalla Highway - Hope to Merritt.

Hazards/Remarks:
- Travel disruptions

Remarks: A Pacific low pressure system will make landfall early Thursday morning, in its wake we expect close to 15 cm of snow. Snowfall will intensify near noon and will ease as the system departs into the interior.

Rapidly accumulating snow will make travel difficult. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow.

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

The site https://shiftintowinter.ca/ reminds drivers to know before you go. Adjust to winter driving behaviour and use winter tires and chains.

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 tweet reports using #BCStorm.
