Spring may be on the way but Environment Canada has issued a snowfall warning for the Coquihalla Highway - Hope to Merritt.

According to Environment Canada snowfall with total amounts of 10 to 20 cm is expected Tuesday as a strong Pacific cold front is expected to bring heavy snow to the route tonight. Snow is expected to develop near the summit late Tuesday afternoon and then the snow level lowers to near 400 metres tonight as the front crosses the region.

Total snowfall accumulations of up to 20 cm are expected by Wednesday morning.

Travellers are advised to check DriveBC for the latest on highway travel conditions.
