The long weekend started with seasonal temperatures, with the thermometer getting into the low teens on Saturday, but cooler and wetter conditions rolled in by Thanksgiving Day.

Rain started off the short work week on Tuesday, with 5 to 10 millimetres falling throughout the valley and snow falling along the Okanagan Connector plus other higher elevation areas.

A few sunny breaks began moving in during the afternoon, as the mercury rose into low double digits with a breezy wind later in the day.

Another wave of clouds rolls in Tuesday night and into early Wednesday morning as conditions cool back to around 4 degrees.

The full effects of the front won’t be felt until the end of the day, with breezy winds after climbing up to a daytime high around 12 or 13 degrees.

Another upper ridge will build into the Okanagan this weekend, with mostly sunny skies and daytime highs making it a few degrees into double digits and morning lows around or just below freezing with frost.
