A warm front and a low-pressure system will move into the B.C. Interior Wednesday night, Environment Canada warns.
“As warm air aloft moves over the existing cold air at lower elevations, freezing rain will develop, particularly over higher elevations and highway passes,” the organization said in a statement.
