Another major storm has prompted highway warnings throughout the Southern Interior.
Environment Canada has issued a snowfall warning for the Coquihalla where up to 20 centimetres of snow is expected to fall beginning this morning and throughout tonight.
It says the Coquihalla summit could get upwards of 35 centimetres.
Meteorologist Doug Lundquist says “we have a low pressure system that’s forecast to track north of Vancouver Island and a frontal system crossing over the next 24 hours so the heaviest amounts of snow we expect is the later today, tonight period and into tomorrow morning, so that’s when the biggest push for snow is going to happen over the high terrain.”
There’s also a heavy snowfall warning for Highway 3 — Hope to Princeton via Allison Pass.
Environment Canada says Allison Pass and Kootenay Pass could receive up 25 centimetres of snow in the next 24 hours.

Lundquist says the Okanagan will also see two to five centimetres of snowfall in the valley bottom over the next 24 to 36 hours.
The snowfall is expected to taper off by Thursday morning.
