Parts of the British Columbia Interior are in for a blast of wintry weather with freezing rain and snow of up to 15 centimetres.

Environment Canada has issued the advisories covering parts of the central and northern Interior, including a snowfall warning for the areas around Williams Lake.

The warnings also extends to parts of Highway 97 from Clinton to 100 Mile House, and motorists are asked to be prepared for potentially hazardous driving conditions.

A freezing rain warning has been issued for the Chilcotin region, and residents need to be careful of possible falling ice and branches.

Environment Canada says a wintry mix of snow and freezing rain is due for the Prince George and Quesnel regions, with all of the warnings lasting into Monday evening.
