Winds of change may arrive on the weekend, but will they clear the air?
KAMLOOPS — A trough of low pressure approaching the BC Interior later this week could have a couple of potential impacts on the choking smoke blanketing the region.
Environment Canada Forecaster Cindy Yu says the system is expected to bring a few millimetres of precipitation, which could help filter smoke particles from the air.
“There is a trough of low pressure approaching the BC coast this weekend. With that, we are expecting a chance of showers this weekend, mostly likely on Sunday along the cold front. But ahead of that cold front, we could see some pop-up showers on Saturday afternoon or evening.”
However, Yu says the winds could shift, coming from the west.
