It adds that weather in the mountains can “change suddenly” and produce hazardous driving conditions.

Visibility, in some areas, can be significantly and suddenly reduced, the alert warns.

While visibility is a concern, road conditions on Hwy 97C and other BC Interior routes appear to be adequate for safe travel.
