More snow coming to mountain passes

Winter isn't quite over in the mountain passes yet.

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for the Coquihalla and the connector, calling for two to four cms of snow overnight.

The weather office says an upper trough of low pressure will bring a cooler airmass to the southern BC Interior, taking snow levels below the passes for most high elevation routes. 

Drivers are going to want to keep an eye on drivebc.ca to plan their route.

Down in the valley bottoms, we can expect scattered showers and a high of 15 Celsius throughout the region today. Tomorrow should be even cooler before a break in the weather Thursday brings a little more sun for Friday, with a high of 20 to 21 C. That's about it for the good news though, because cloud cover is set to dominate the weekend.
