Cool conditions will settle into the Okanagan heading into the weekend, with skies clearing out throughout Thursday as temperatures climb to around -1 C in the afternoon.
The mercury, however, will plunge to around -8 on Thursday night, as mostly clear skies make way for more valley clouds under an inversion into Friday morning.
Those valley clouds will clear on Friday. And as sunshine returns, a steady climb will ensue, helping warm the region to around -3 C later in the day.
A similar setup with morning valley cloud and afternoon sunshine will stick around Saturday. It will be a chilly start to the day, with temperatures in minus double digits before recovering to around -4 C in the afternoon.
The next frontal system will sweep through on Sunday, with a few centimetres of snow likely. This should help moderate conditions slightly, with a daytime high around -3 C.
The final week of January will kick off on a cold note, with a polar vortex lobe pushing into B.C.
This will keep daytime highs just shy of the freezing mark, with overnight lows in mid-minus single digits.
