If you plan on driving through high mountain passes in or out of the southern Interior between tomorrow night and Friday morning, be warned, snow is on the way.
Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement covering the Coquihalla Highway, Okanagan Connector, Allison Pass, Paulson Summit and Kootenay Pass this afternoon, May 11.
A trough of low pressure is moving across southern B.C. Thursday night, May 12, and snow levels will lower to 1,000 metres or less, the weather statement said.
The weather office said there is still some uncertainty about how much snow will fall.
For the latest on the special weather statement, along with other watches and warnings, go to Environment Canada's public weather alert web page here.
