Snow possible this weekend on mountain passes in the Southern Interior
Snow? You’ve got to be kidding.
Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for regions throughout the Southern Interior warning of wet and cool weather this weekend that could include snow at higher elevations.
A strong southerly flow beginning late Friday, June 8, will bring isolated thunderstorms, gusty winds and rainfall to some areas. Snow is possible in the high mountain passes.
By Sunday, the southerly flow will shift eastward into Alberta, replaced by a cool and unsettled air mass, Environment Canada says.
Expect showers and thunderstorms during the day, while falling freezing levels will again bring the chance of snow to higher elevations.
With May largely dry, Environment Canada is warning of possible surface run-off causing flooding in some areas.
