Environment Canada issues special weather statement

Arctic air in place over the Interior will combine with moisture advancing from the Pacific to give steadier snow beginning overnight. Amounts will be from 2 to 4 cm. On Thursday a stronger impulse will result in more snow and amounts of 5 to 10 cm are forecast for much of the Similkameen, Okanagan, Arrow-Slocan and West Kootenay regions. More snow is likely for Friday.

Kamloops RCMP is reporting that Highway 5 is blocked southbound near the Inks Lake turnoff by a tractor trailer unit on its side. It is unknown at this time how long the highway will remain closed.

Travel is not being advised due to poor road conditions. Please consult DriveBC for current road conditions before using any roadways in the region.

If you appreciate what we do, we ask that you consider supporting our local independent news platform.
