Environment Canada says a significant 香蕉视频直播渁rctic blast香蕉视频直播� will sweep through the Okanagan and Shuswap as early as Wednesday evening, Jan. 10.

Daytime tempertures will plummet to -10 to -17 C and overnight lows are expected to flirt with marks of around -20 C, from Jan. 11 to 15, as a result.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 really into Thursday (Jan. 11) where we香蕉视频直播檒l see those temperatures significantly below normal,香蕉视频直播� Environment Canada meteorologist Alyssa Charbonneau said, adding that the Okanagan will experience daytime highs of between -12 C to -15 C through the weekend. 香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 definitely going to feel extremely cold to people, especially because we haven香蕉视频直播檛 seen anything like it this season.香蕉视频直播�

Overnight temperatures in Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton and Salmon Arm are expected to hit lows of -20 on Thursday, Jan. 11. That香蕉视频直播檚 around 12 degrees colder than it usually is at this time of year, Charbonneau said.

This week香蕉视频直播檚 cold snap comes after a warmer-than-normal start to winter. Cities in the region, , have felt the impact of the El Ni帽o weather phenomenon since June, resulting in a notably mild and dry December.

香蕉视频直播淲hat we香蕉视频直播檒l see here with the cold isn香蕉视频直播檛 unusual for this time of year,香蕉视频直播� the meteorologist added. 香蕉视频直播淚 think what was unusual was just how warm December really was.香蕉视频直播�

Below-seasonal temperatures are on their way, but it appears the Okanagan will actually avoid the worst of what香蕉视频直播檚 to come in some parts of B.C.

On Tuesday, Environment Canada issued a forecast note stating parts of the province could welcome overnight temperatures of between -30 C and -40. Charbonneau says those frigid marks are most likely reserved for across the Cariboo region and towards Prince George.

香蕉视频直播淔or the Okanagan, it香蕉视频直播檚 not looking quite that cold, however, we haven香蕉视频直播檛 seen anything close to this so it香蕉视频直播檚 going to be a big change.香蕉视频直播�

Unlike the , cold temperatures in the region this week are not expected to be record-breaking for this time of year.

Kelowna, for instance, recorded a temperature of -25.6 C on Jan. 12, 1950. That still stands as the city香蕉视频直播檚 daily minimum for that day, the meteorologist said.

香蕉视频直播淎t this point, the lows we香蕉视频直播檙e going to see aren香蕉视频直播檛 in record-breaking territory yet, but you can香蕉视频直播檛 rule it out until we get through this week,香蕉视频直播� Charbonneau added.

Beyond Monday, Jan. 15, Environment Canada says temperatures will begin to 香蕉视频直播渕oderate香蕉视频直播� and return closer to seasonal.

香蕉视频直播淚t doesn香蕉视频直播檛 look like this extreme cold is going to last through next week,香蕉视频直播� Charbonneau said. 香蕉视频直播淪till, we香蕉视频直播檙e in for four days of very cold weather.香蕉视频直播�

Snowfall, meanwhile, remains in the forecast for Kelowna and Vernon on Tuesday, Jan. 9. Both cities could see another 2 to 4 centimetres fall through the night.

A 30 to 60 per cent chance of flurries remains penned for Penticton through Friday, Jan. 12.
