Environment Canada says a winter storm is set to hit Highway 1 from Eagle Pass to Rogers Pass, beginning on Monday evening (Dec. 4) and lasting into Tuesday.

Environment Canada warns that highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery. The agency reminds drivers that weather in the mountains can change suddenly.

Monday evening香蕉视频直播檚 storm is part of an atmospheric river setting up across southwestern B.C. Communities throughout the south coast are forecast to see some mix of snow and rain, with the potential for flooding in some areas.
