Snowfall warnings are in effect for some major highways coming to and from British Columbia’s Lower Mainland.

Environment Canada says a weather system approaching from Washington state will result in snow for the Coquihalla Highway and Fraser Canyon on Wednesday.

Amounts could reach up to 10 cm along the Fraser Canyon, and as much as 15 cm for stretches of the Coquihalla Highway from Hope to Kamloops.

The Sea to Sky Highway and Whistler are expecting 15 to 25 cm of snow by Wednesday evening as a strong low-pressure system tracks across the south coast.

There is a risk of freezing rain along the Paulson Summit and Kootenay Pass in the southern Interior.

Environment Canada says the roads could become icy and slippery, but the snow and freezing rain is expected to taper to rain later Wednesday as the freezing level rises.
