Snowfall ranging from 15 to 25 cm is expected to hit a pair of BC highways over the next few days.

An Environment Canada snowfall warning is in effect from today (March 13) to Tuesday morning (March 14) on the Coquihalla Highway from Hope to Merritt and Highway 3 from Hope to Princeton via Allison Pass.

According to the warning, drivers can expect challenging conditions due to accumulating snow and changes in precipitation type.

On Tuesday morning, poor driving conditions are expected to continue as snow levels fall to valley bottom and lead to slippery roads.
