Environment Canada has issued special weather statements across much of southern B.C., including the Kamloops area, warning of another significant dump of snow this week.
It says the snow is expected to begin on Tuesday and last until Thursday, though exact amounts are not clear at this time.
“An arctic front will begin to sweep across the province from north to south, bringing periods of snow. At the same time, a Pacific low pressure system will approach the coast from the west,” Environment Canada said.
“As the moisture from the Pacific system interacts with the cold front from the north, periods of heavy snow are expected, and snowfall warnings may be issued for some regions.”
Special weather statements also cover the entire Coquihalla Highway from Hope to Kamloops, the Okanagan Connector from Kelowna to Merritt, and the Cariboo Highway from Clinton to 100 Mile House.
As of publishing, snowfall warnings remain in effect on the Trans-Canada Highway between Eagle and Rogers Pass and on the Yellowhead Tête Jaune Cache to the Alberta Border.
Environment Canada has lifted a number of Extreme Cold Warnings that we in effect across the Kamloops area last week. Those warnings are still in effect on the Trans-Canada Highway between Eagle and Rogers Pass and in parts of the Kootenays.
