Okanagan weather: Possible snow this week, but temperatures still above normal

The Okanagan may see some snowfall this week.

However, that’s may, as it isn’t guaranteed. And even if it does snow, it won’t last for long.

Environment Canada is projecting cloudy skies and a 30 per cent chance of possible flurries on Tuesday and Wednesday, with daylight temperatures above freezing, in the 1 C and 2 C range.

Overnight temperatures will be around -2 and -3 C, with Wednesday night also featuring a 40 per cent chance of snow.

The weekend will be a mixed bag, with Saturday seeing sun and clouds plus a 30 per cent chance of showers during the day and a 30 per cent chance of flurries overnight.

Sunday, which is also the final day of 2023, will see cloudy skies plus a 30 per cent of flurries. That’s also the same forecast for Monday, Jan. 1.

The normal temperatures for the region are generally daytime highs of -2 C and overnight lows of -8 C.
