It may be June, but snow could be on the way for Okanagan highways
It’s just four days until the first day of summer and there’s a possibility of snow on Okanagan highways.
On Saturday, June 17, Environment Canada issued a special weather statement for the Coquihalla highway, Okanagan Connector, and Highway 3 as a mixture of rain and snow is on the way.“A cold trough of low pressure will move over southwestern B.C. overnight, bringing precipitation and lowering snow levels,” said Environment Canada. “The snow level will lower to approximately 1400 meters on Sunday morning and persist until Tuesday morning.
Precipitation is expected to become more frequent on Monday and into Tuesday. The Okanagan Connector is expected to receive the most wet snow out of all the highways. Travellers the next few days are to drive with caution, especially in slippery areas. In the mountains, weather can change suddenly, making driving difficult.
