Clouds and showers in Kamloops weekend forecast

Kamloops residents will likely need an umbrella for the rest of this week and over the weekend as the possibility of showers persists on a daily basis.

Temperatures are expected to stay at or near seasonal levels, however.

Environment Canada meteorologist Doug Lundquist says the storm track is over B.C. right now, bringing a series of storms to the coast and unsettled conditions to Kamloops.

He says temperatures are expected to be mild over the next few days and there may be a few sunny breaks in between the showers and clouds expected.
