A significant transition in weather is happening the Interior of British Columbia through this week as a high pressure system is expected to intensify, bringing seasonally hot temperatures to the region. Day time high temperatures are expected to reach mid-to-upper twenties by Thursday. On Friday, an upper trough is expected to shift into the Interior, bringing showers and rain.

The onset of hot weather will deliver the first significant episode of snow melt from this season’s snow pack. At higher elevations, snow melt is expected to be modest; however mid-elevation melt is expected to be significant with these temperatures. Extremely wet weather has led to soil saturation and increased snow accumulation throughout southern BC over the past month, and will likely exacerbate streamflow response
