The Story
The BC Ministry of Transportation and Transit is advising drivers across the South Coast—including the Lower Mainland, Sunshine Coast, Vancouver Island and Fraser Valley—to prepare for a storm that is expected to begin Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2026, and continue through the rest of the week.
The ministry cautioned that impacts could include possible areas of pooling water on roadways, fallen debris and short-notice road closures.
Areas expected to be most affected include Highway 99 through the Sea to Sky corridor and Pemberton Valley Highway 1 through the Fraser Valley and the Fraser Canyon, as well as the Malahat and western coast communities on Vancouver Island.
The ministry said it will continue to monitor conditions closely and increase patrols, while contractors prepare by clearing debris from roadways and drainage infrastructure and will keep monitoring corridors throughout the storm to respond immediately to issues.
Drivers are reminded to check DriveBC before travelling and to leave space for highway maintenance crews.
