KAMLOOPS — Hot air coming up from the Unites States has prompted Environment Canada to issue special weather warnings for several areas of southeastern B.C.
The warnings are for the regions of Shuswap, Kootenay Lake, Elk Valley, the East Kootenay and Arrow Lakes.
Environment Canada says by Wednesday and Thursday daytime temperatures will peak in the high thirties and could reach the 40-degree mark, while cooling is not expected until Friday.
In Kamloops, Meteorologist Dave Wray expects a high of 36 Thursday before peaking to a high of 40 on Thursday.
