A snowfall warning has been issued for parts of the BC Interior.
Between 10 and 20 centimetres is expected to fall across the Okanagan Valley and the Similkameen today and tomorrow.
Snow is also expected to fall along the full extent of the Coquihalla Highway and Okanagan Connector, as well as on Hwy 3 (Hope to Princeton via Allison Pass).
The snowfall is anticipated to occur from Tuesday evening to Wednesday evening.
“A cold front will combine with a Pacific low pressure system and bring snow, heavy at times into southern BC,” Environment Canada explained.
“Snow will start tonight and become heavy overnight. Total snowfall amounts of 10 to 15 cm and higher amounts up to 20 cm locally can be expected before the snow tapers off Wednesday evening.”
The forecaster warned that visibility may be “suddenly reduced” during the heavier periods of snowfall.
“There may be a significant impact on rush hour traffic in urban areas,” it added.
