The heavy snow from Hope to Merritt is expected to change to rain by Friday afternoon. Rapidly accumulating snow could make travel difficult over some locations. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow. If visibility is reduced while driving, turn on your lights and maintain a safe following distance.

Weather in the mountains can change suddenly resulting in hazardous driving conditions. For the latest information and updates about conditions visit DriveBC.
