Historically low temperatures coming to much of B.C. as winter chill sets in
It’s going to get very cold across much of B.C. this weekend, with Environment Canada warning temperatures will “plummet to values not seen in years.”
The weather agency issued a special weather statement for much of southern B.C. Saturday, stretching from the Fraser Canyon through the Okanagan, Thompson and Shuswap regions to the B.C.-Alberta border.
Areas farther north including the Cariboo, Chilcotin, Yellowhead and Bulkley Valley regions are also included in the statement.
Environment Canada says strong winds will push temperatures down to between minus 30 and minus 40 degrees Celsius for the central interior by Sunday morning
By Monday morning, similar temperatures will be seen in the Columbias and southwest interior, forecasters say.
The Okanagan is also expecting more snow throughout the weekend, with two to four centimetres expected Saturday and another five centimetres forecast for Saturday night.
Five centimetres of snow is also expected to fall in the valley on Sunday.
