Snow at higher elevations is expected to start tonight, Oct. 7 and continue through tomorrow afternoon, Environment Canada says in a special weather statement.

About 10 cm of snow is expected but it’s unclear how much will accumulate on roadways once the pavement cools down.

The special weather statement included The Coquihalla, Okanagan Connector, Rogers Pass and Allison Pass.

More details on the alert are available here.

Road conditions are available at www.drivebc.ca.
