“We can expect a chance of flurries or showers this morning. Our afternoon highs should reach four to five degrees. We may have rain showers in the early evening and wet flurries after midnight.”

Yu says the unsettled conditions will continue through Saturday before giving way to another weather system Sunday which she says may bring periods of snow in the morning before giving way to rain or snow by the end of the day.

Sticking with snowfall, Yu says there was plenty of it in Kamloops in January with 32.2 centimetres of the white stuff falling. She says that’s far above the average of 18.7 centimetres, but not a record.
