“As we get closer into these offshore weather systems moving into B.C., that’s what is going to be affecting local weather here, then we’ll have a better idea of the specific area and what that will mean in terms of precipitation and lightning.” In the southern Interior, Environment Canada said there was a risk of a thunderstorm in the Kamloops area on Saturday, with a chance of showers through Monday.Smoke was expected to continue to cause poor air quality and reduced visibility throughout eastern B.C. along the boundary with Alberta over the weekend.
