Everybody needs a bit of sunshine.
We will certainly be getting our share this weekend in Prince George.
A ridge of high pressure has built over the province, skies have cleared and warmer-than-average temperatures are coming our way for the next four days at least.
We’re heading for a high of 22 C on Saturday and the 23 C on Sunday, which is about 10 degrees warmer than normal for this time of year. We might come close to breaking a record or two this weekend.
That warmth, combined with overnight temperatures remaining above freezing and still plenty of snow to melt in the mountains, is expected to raise river levels so be careful around riverbanks with the swiftly-moving currents increasing later in the day.
The B.C. River Forecast Centre has issued a high streamflow advisory for Prince George.
Environment Canada predicts a low of 3 C overnight tonight and lows of 6 and 7 C for Saturday and Sunday.
Rain showers are expected in the evening on Sunday, but that won’t last long.
May arrives on Monday and it will be mostly sunny that day with a high of 16 C, rising to 22 C on Tuesday.
Mostly cloudy skies are predicted for Wednesday and Thursday with a chance of rain both days, but it will remain unseasonably warm, with predicted highs of 23 C on Wednesday and 21 C on Thursday.
So get out and enjoy it while lasts.
