Brace yourselves.
Environment Canada sent out a special weather statement this morning, Jun. 10, for Highway 3, the Coquihalla and the Okanagan Connector.
Snow is possible this morning and again overnight and Monday morning for elevations above 1300 meters according to a media release.
A cool and unstable air mass is now over the BC Interior. Bands of precipitation over the Southern Interior will likely cause snow near the summits of the Okanagan Connector, Paulson Summit and Kootenay Pass.
The other passes may see some wet snow as well, but accumulations are unlikely.
Weather in the mountains can change suddenly resulting in hazardous driving conditions.
