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.
