Motorists are being warned about possibly hazardous conditions as periods of heavy snowfall hit the Coquihalla Summit on April 10.

According to Environment Canada, a further 5 to 10 cm of snow is expected for the mountain highway. The snowfall is being driven by a cool and unstable southwesterly flow combined with ample moisture in the air. The snow is expected to taper off into flurries later on.
