About 5 to 10 centimetres of snow is forecast to fall Wednesday evening through to early Thursday afternoon.
Environment Canada issued the Special Weather Statement, noting that snow will fall at higher elevations, over 1,400 metres.
“An area of low pressure will spread snow to portions of the Highway 3 between Paulson Summit to Kootenay Pass beginning this evening,” said Environment Canada. “Snow will taper off to a few flurries near noon on Thursday as the system departs.”
Seeing as it’s the middle of May and many have changed over their winter tires, motorists are reminded to be extremely careful in the mountain pass.
