POOR VISIBILITY IN SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW IS EXPECTED OR OCCURRING IN 
SOME LOCATIONS.

WHEN: NOW TO LATE THIS EVENING. 

WHERE: WHITE PASS AND HAINES ROAD. 

HAZARD: SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW CAUSING REDUCED VISIBILITY AND 
DIFFICULT TRAVEL. 

REMARKS: AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT IS BRINGING SNOW AND STRONG 
SOUTHWEST WINDS GUSTING TO 70 KM/H TODAY AND TONIGHT. WIND GUSTS 
COULD BE HIGHER ALONG SECTIONS OF HAINES ROAD TODAY. THESE WILL 
RESULT IN BLOWING SNOW AND AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF REDUCED 
VISIBILITIES, MAKING TRAVEL DIFFICULT. TOTAL SNOWFALL AMOUNTS OF 10 
TO 20 CM ARE EXPECTED BEFORE ENDING TONIGHT, WITH THE HIGHEST 
AMOUNTS ALONG THE WHITE PASS.

TRAVEL IS EXPECTED TO BE HAZARDOUS DUE TO REDUCED VISIBILITY.
