It’s a mixed bag of weather for the next 24 hours, according to Environment Canada.

Williams Lake residents can expect rain, sleet and snow (depending on your elevation) ending near noon Wednesday followed by a mix of sun and cloud. Snowfall could amount to four centimetres over higher terrain. The daytime high will be 3C.

Snow will begin again overnight with a risk of freezing rain before morning Thursday followed by snowfall amounts to five centimetres.

DriveBC is reporting compact snow and black ice on Highway 20 between Anahim Lake and Tatla Lake.

Highway 20 is still reduced to single alternating traffic at Stack Valley Road on Highway 20 at Riske Creek due to a single vehicle incident involving a logging truck Tuesday.
