Environment Canada issues special weather statement predicting snow on mountain highways

KAMLOOPS — Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement warning travellers in the Interior of BC of early season snow.

The statement applies to high elevation highways including the Coquihalla from Kamloops to Merritt and the Okanagan Connector from Merritt to Kelowna.

The forecaster warns an approaching low pressure system will combine with dropping snow levels to bring now to mountain passes.
