The warning applies to the Cariboos, North/South Columbia, Glacier National Park, Purcells, Kootenay-Boundary, Lizard/Flathead, and South Rockies Regions. Expiry date is end of the day Monday, January 15 but we'll be reviewing conditions over the weekend to determine whether the warning should be extended. You can view the warning here:
