Friday cold front could bring gusty winds to BC fire fight
KAMLOOPS — A cold front moving into the Kamloops area tomorrow could have a big impact on the wildfire fight.
Environment Canada Forecaster Jennifer Hay says the system could bring rain, strong winds and possibly lightning.
“We’re thinking the primary feature is probably the wind, which is going to have some effect on the fire forecasting and the fighting that’s going on with that,” said Hay.
“We’re expecting west or southwest winds, 30 up to about 50 (kilometres per hour), and then if you had a thunderstorm come through, we could even get some stronger gusts associated with that.”
