SNOWFALL POSSIBILITY

Chance of flurries forecast for several days in Kamloops

KAMLOOPS — There’s a good chance the Kamloops area could see some snowfall this week, however it wouldn’t be much.

Environment Canada Meteorologist Dave Ray says the recent colder temperatures and cloud cover over the last week is pretty standard for late November, early December.

“We do have a slight risk of a snow flurry in the forecast for the day (Dec. 1)- at 30 per cent. Daytime high maybe getting up to about minus 4, so it’s a bit chilly.”

According to Ray, Monday and the next several days will be hovering around that snowfall chance.

“Still chilly with a high of minus 3 tomorrow,” he says, “And really, that’s the name of the game for the rest of the week. Just unsettled, 30-40 per cent probability of flurries for the next few days. Might get up to plus 1, or plus 2 during the daytime on Tuesday or Wednesday, but really not a whole lot warmer than that.”

Despite the chance of snow in the lower elevations, Ray says that doesn’t mean upper highway passes such as the Coquihalla and Okanagan Connector will be dumped on.

“I mean I would say for higher elevations there is the potential for you to see about a centimetre or two through the overnight period, but it’s not a very moist system so we’re not expecting a lot in the way of accumulation.”
