KELOWNA – A word of caution for Okanagan drivers as there is risk of freezing rain.
Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for the North, Central and South Okanagan valleys for freezing rain potential Friday and Saturday.
According to Environment Canada, bands of moisture will continue to move across the interior Friday through Saturday. A layer of warm air will also sweep across the coastal mountain tops and over the interior valleys giving the likelihood of above freezing temperatures.
Freezing rain may develop wherever sub-freezing air near the surface persists. Rain falling into sub-freezing air will freeze on contact, creating hazardous icy travelling conditions.
