KAMLOOPS — UPDATE: The first significant snowfall of the year made roads a treacherous mess this morning – inside and outside of the City of Kamloops.

Environment Canada has now ended its previous snowfall and freezing rain warnings for the B.C. Interior.

Forecaster Doug Lundquist says flurries are beginning to taper off and showers are expected later today as temperatures increase to a high of plus-5.

EARLIER: Environment Canada issued a Snowfall Warning for the South Thompson region Monday night.

It expects up to 15 cm of snow to fall as a pacific system moves into the area overnight. Total snow accumulations are expected to be at the highest amount in higher terrain areas of the South Thompson and Shuswap.

Environment Canada says the snow is expected to change to rain Tuesday afternoon as temperatures rise.

It suggests drivers should be prepared to adjust their driving habits to match road conditions.

Environment Canada has also issued freezing rain warnings in the Chilcotin and Cariboo regions earlier today as weather systems from the pacific and arctic collide over the B.C. interior.
