What’s in store for rodeo fans weather-wise this weekend?
We asked Environment Canada Meteorologist Matt Loney to breakdown the 97th Annual Williams Lake Stampede and region forecast.
“Things are going to start out perhaps wetter than most people would appreciate. For today (Friday) we do see showers, cooler temperatures in the low to mid teens, and a risk of thunderstorms into the evening. However the shower activity should lighten up as the evening goes on.”
As we get into the weekend Loney said things start to turn around.
“There may be a chance of showers tomorrow (Saturday) morning the further South you go in the region. Temperatures will be running a little bit lower than normal then Sunday and Monday it starts to brighten up and get quite warm for this time of year in the mid to upper 20’s and even into Canada Day it looks quite promising.”
With that in mind we asked how promising Tuesday’s (July 1) forecast will be.
“We’re looking at plenty of sunshine and temperatures in the mid 20’s possibly edging to the upper 20’s. So for the Stampede weekend and Canada Day in the Cariboo the weather is looking to make these two events quite enjoyable.”
Something going on in the Cariboo you think people should know about?
