Environment Canada has issued a series of weather alerts this morning for the Okanagan Connector, Merritt to Kelowna, the Coquihalla Highway, Merritt to Kamloops and from Hope to Merritt, and for Highway 3 from Hope to Princeton via the Allison Pass, as well as the Okanagan Valley.
Heavy snow is expected in the Central, North and South Okanagan from a low pressure system tracking across the south coast tonight.
