Forecast Confidence: High


Rain, at times heavy, is expected. What: Snow changing to heavy rain early this morning. Total rainfall of 60 to 80 mm by early Thursday morning. When: Now through tonight. Where: Coquihalla Highway – Hope to Merritt. Remarks: An atmospheric river will arrive on the South Coast of B.C., bringing snow to the Coquihalla Summit.

The highest rainfall amounts, up to 80 mm, are expected near Hope. Snow levels will lower to near the summit tonight, and rain may change back to snow near the summit with up to 10 cm of accumulation possible.
