Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement about the possibility of late season flurries for higher elevations and northern B.C.
Forecasters say the snow is expected at the 1300-1500 metre elevation, but flurries could descend lower during intense activity.
Highway 97 through the Pine Pass and the Alaska Highway from the Rocky Mountain foothills to the Liard River are expected to get snow along with the following areas:
Highway 3 – Hope to Princeton via Allison Pass, B.C.
Coquihalla Highway – Hope to Merritt, B.C.
Coquihalla Highway – Merritt to Kamloops, B.C.
Okanagan Connector – Merritt to Kelowna, B.C.
Yellowhead Highway – Tête Jaune Cache to the Alberta Border, B.C.
The snow will change back to rain Friday as the airmass begins to warm.
