Environment Canada issued a severe thunderstorm watch for communities such as Ashcroft, Cache Creek, Lillooet and Spences Bridge Tuesday afternoon and evening.
‘Intense lightning is likely with any thunderstorm that develops. Heavy downpours are likely to cause flash floods and water pooling on roads,” the weather agency states.
In its Tuesday afternoon forecast, Environment Canada says Kamloops can expect clouds with a 40 per cent chance of showers and a risk of thunderstorms. It notes there is a risk of severe thunderstorms over western sections of the city late Tuesday afternoon.
