Weather conditions have have improved considerably from this morning. Most regional highways are currently bare and wet with slushy sections and Mainroad East Kootenay reports its crews are working on side roads as well as patrols for slippery sections.

Weather is forecast to cool down tonight from current temperatures which are in the 0 to -1C range at this time. As a result, warns Mainroad, motorists should be aware of possible flash freeze conditions near sundown. Mainroad crews are patrolling. Still a chance of isolated flurries tonight and tomorrow,” the regional highways contractor stated in a media release this afternoon.

Expect slippery conditions, be prepared for slush by slowing down and carry plenty of washer fluid.

Additionally, roads have been salted throughout which will attract wildlife so watch for them, Mainroad said.
