KAMLOOPS - The cool temperatures and showers today in Kamloops won't linger much longer with a sunny and warm weekend in the forecast.
Environment Canada meteorologist Johathan Bau says things are looking up after an upper cold low currently over Kamloops moves east tomorrow. That upper low has created a trough, bringing the threat of thunderstorms, hail and showers to Kamloops today, July 18.
A building ridge of high pressure is expected for Friday, which should begin clearing the skies and warming temperatures in time for the weekend.
Mostly sunny skies and temperatures in the 30s are expected to dominate the Kamloops weather pattern well into next week.
Today is expected to be mainly cloudy with a 70 per cent chance of showers and a risk of thunderstorms. Winds are expected to become west at 20 km/h near noon, with a high of 20 Celsius and a low of 12 C. There’s also a 30 per cent chance of showers lingering into the evening, along with a risk of a thunderstorm this evening and overnight.
Friday should be mainly cloudy with a high of 21 C and a low of 11 C.
