More winter weather is on the way for BC Interior highways after a Friday morning snowfall on the Connector and Coquihalla.

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for the Trans-Canada Highway (Hwy 1), as the major highway route is expected to see some snow this weekend.

“A cold front moving through the BC Interior will drop temperatures Saturday night,” the forecaster noted. “This is combined with moisture aloft and likely to result in snow over the high elevation highway passes.”

Between Saturday evening and early Sunday morning, around five centimetres are expected to fall in the Eagle Pass and Rogers Pass areas on Hwy 1.

“Snow may rapidly accumulate on roads and visibility may be greatly reduced, leading to difficult travel conditions,” added the Environment Canada alert.

If you’re travelling this weekend, be sure to check DriveBC for the most up to date highway conditions and closures.
