It looks like the wet weather will continue across northern BC for the rest of the month according to Environment Canada.
“The storm track sort of still remains right across Smithers and across to Prince George, looks like the forecast going out to the end of the month is generally on and off rain, some days might see just a chance of showers but I don’t really see any kind of big drying out trend happening,” said Alyssa Charbonneau, Meteorologist.
She adds old man winter might make a brief appearance in the Smithers and the Bulkley Valley this weekend.
“The Smithers forecast is potentially mentioning some snow getting mixed in overnight Saturday into Sunday morning, certainly any kind of higher elevation might see temperatures drop down low enough that some snow could get mixed in”.
Charbonneau asks drivers to use caution during the early morning and late evening hours due to the thawing and unthawing of the roads
A high of six degrees is expected for Saturday with a 40% chance of showers.
On Sunday, it’s predicted to be cloudy with showers and a high of eight.
The rain will continue well into next week in Smithers, Vanderhoof and Prince George with temperatures ranging between three and 12 degrees Celsius.
