Kamloops can expect sunny, warm Mother’s Day weekend

It’s shaping up to be a pretty nice Mothers Day weekend in Kamloops as the sunshine returns along with rising temperatures.

The forecast is calling for high temperatures around 25 Celsius this weekend in Kamloops but not so much in Ontario.

A May polar vortex is could bring snow and record-low temperatures to the Toronto area on Friday and Saturday, according to the Weather Network. Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury could break cold temperature records on Friday with a forecast of 1.1 C for both cities, as temperatures in southern Ontario are not expected to get much higher than 4 or 5 C for daytime highs.

Dawson City, Yukon, has a more appealing seven-day forecast than Toronto.

Environment Canada says Kamloops can look forward to clearing skies today, May 7, with west winds at 20 km/h gusting to 40 before becoming light near noon. Today’s high should reach 20 C with a low of 6 C.

More sun is in store for the city on Friday and Saturday, with highs of 24 C and 25 C. It’s expected to remain clear both nights, with lows of 8 C .

Sunday promises to be a mix of sun and cloud with a high of 23 C and a low of 9 C overnight, accompanied by cloudy periods.

A mix of sun and cloud is expected for Monday through Wednesday next week, with highs of 20 C on Monday and 22 C on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Cloudy periods and lows of 9 C and 10 C are forecast for Monday and Tuesday nights.

Normal temperatures at this time of year in Kamloops are highs of 21 C and lows of 7 C.

I have been looking for news in the South Okanagan - SImilkameen for 20 years, having turned a part time lifelong interest into a full time profession. After five years publishing a local newsletter, several years working as a correspondent / stringer for several local newspapers and seven years as editor of a Similkameen weekly newspaper, I joined iNFOnews.ca in 2014. My goal in the news industry has always been to deliver accurate and interesting articles about local people and places. My interest in the profession is life long - from my earliest memories of grade school, I have enjoyed writing.
As an airborne geophysical surveyor I travelled extensively around the globe, conducting helicopter borne mineral surveys.
I also spent several years at an Okanagan Falls based lumber mill, producing glued-wood laminated products.
As a member of the Kaleden community, I have been involved in the Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department for 22 years, and also serve as a trustee on the Kaleden Irrigation District board.
I am currently married to my wife Judy, of 26 years. We are empty-nesters who enjoy living in Kaleden with our Welsh Terrier, Angus, and cat, Tibbs.
Our two daughters, Meagan and Hayley, reside in Richmond and Victoria, respectively.
