Unstable ridge of high pressure to roll into Prince George-area

Over the next 72 hours, temperatures in Prince George will feel a lot more like summer.

Between tomorrow (Tuesday) and Thursday daytime highs will range between 27 and 30 degrees.

Environment Canada Meteorologist, Matt Loney told MyPGNow.com the threat of the skies opening up will still be around.

“It is a good time to enjoy the summer weather but then just be on the lookout for darkening skies in the late afternoon with the build up of clouds and warmer temperatures.”

“There is a little bit of instability trapped inside the ridge and quite a number of areas in Central BC are under the threat of showers or afternoon thundershowers. The threat isn’t large in the amount of rain but it is enough to take the edge off.”

Loney adds as we head closer to the BC Day long weekend, temperatures will dip back down to the low 20’s with some rain in the forecast.
