MERRITT, B.C. — Drivers in B.C.’s southern interior can expect some slippery conditions on mountain passes until as late as Tuesday (June 4) morning.
In a special weather statement online, Environment Canada says mixed precipitation is expected for the Coquihalla Summit on Highway 5 between Hope and Merritt Monday morning, along with Allison Pass on Highway 3 from Hope to Princeton.
Additionally, mixed precipitation is expected over Pennask Summit on the Okanagan Connector from Merritt to Kelowna until Tuesday morning.
“A Pacific frontal system moving across B.C. brings a cooler airmass and widespread precipitation to the region. Snow levels lowered overnight, and periods of mixed rain and wet snow are possible for high elevation passes along southern interior highways,” Environment Canada states.
