Wind to wipe out hot temperatures temporarily

KAMLOOPS — The heat and sunshine across the BC Interior will be interrupted starting this evening, according to Environment Canada.

Forecaster Cindy Yu says a cold front is expected to pass through tonight, and the forecasting service has issued a special weather statement warning of strong winds.

“For us, I think the main threat really with these thunderstorms, if they do develop, will be the winds. Northwesterly winds 50km/h gusting to 70km/h are in our forecast, I think that is strong enough to cause some chaos or inconvenience for people,” said Yu.

Yu says if there is hail, it’s likely to hit north of Kamloops.
