Heavy snow expected for Coquihalla, prompts snowfall warning

A dump of snow is expected to hit the Coquihalla Highway, just in time for weekend travellers.

“An intense Pacific frontal system will approach the interior tonight,” says the alert. “Light snow from the system will start early this evening and will become heavier overnight.”

Up to 25 centimetres is expected to fall over the next 36 hours before easing off by the late afternoon or early evening on Saturday.

Along with the snow, strong southerly winds will also hit the region and the blowing snow will make visibility an issue for drivers.
