Winter isn鈥檛 over yet, at least on B.C.鈥檚 Interior mountain passes.

Environment Canada has issued a new snowfall warning for the Coquihalla Highway, with snow expected to begin falling Friday morning due an active frontal system sliding down the coast.

Fifteen to 20 centimetres of snow are forecasted to fall on the highway throughout the day.

鈥淲ith an ideal southwesterly flow, ample moisture and relatively low snow levels, the Coquihalla Summit is expected to get snow, heavy at times, starting mid Friday morning and continuing into Friday night,鈥 reads Environment Canada鈥檚 warning.

Snow is expected to fall elsewhere in the Okanagan Friday as well. The Okanagan Connector is expected to get between two to four centimetres while the Hope-to-Princeton Highway could see between five and 10 centimetres.

Check for up to date road conditions.
