Caution urged on area highways as freezing rain warning continues
KAMLOOPS — UPDATE: Due to freezing rain, there are now travel advisories in effect for the Coquihalla from Hope to Kamloops and on the Yellowhead from Kamloops to Clearwater and from McMurphy to 60 kilometres north of Blue River.
UPDATE- 8:00 AM ….While the warmer weather is great for those of us who don’t like the cold, it brings some consequences as well.
One is a risk of snow, and the other is a risk of freezing rain.
There’s a freezing rain warning in effect this morning for the Fraser Canyon between Hope and Lytton. And there could be some freezing rain on the Coquihalla between Hope and Merritt, with rain closer to Hope. That’s expected to give way to flurries as the day wears on, but the freezing rain forecast could return overnight. A freezing rain warning has been issued this morning for the Nicola area as well. That was issued just before 8:00 AM.
