Environment Canada says a significant 91裸聊视频渁rctic blast91裸聊视频� 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.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 really into Thursday (Jan. 11) where we91裸聊视频檒l see those temperatures significantly below normal,91裸聊视频� Environment Canada meteorologist Alyssa Charbonneau said, adding that the Okanagan will experience daytime highs of between -12 C to -15 C through the weekend. 91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 definitely going to feel extremely cold to people, especially because we haven91裸聊视频檛 seen anything like it this season.91裸聊视频�

Overnight temperatures in Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton and Salmon Arm are expected to hit lows of -20 on Thursday, Jan. 11. That91裸聊视频檚 around 12 degrees colder than it usually is at this time of year, Charbonneau said.

This week91裸聊视频檚 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.

91裸聊视频淲hat we91裸聊视频檒l see here with the cold isn91裸聊视频檛 unusual for this time of year,91裸聊视频� the meteorologist added. 91裸聊视频淚 think what was unusual was just how warm December really was.91裸聊视频�

Below-seasonal temperatures are on their way, but it appears the Okanagan will actually avoid the worst of what91裸聊视频檚 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.

91裸聊视频淔or the Okanagan, it91裸聊视频檚 not looking quite that cold, however, we haven91裸聊视频檛 seen anything close to this so it91裸聊视频檚 going to be a big change.91裸聊视频�

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 city91裸聊视频檚 daily minimum for that day, the meteorologist said.

91裸聊视频淎t this point, the lows we91裸聊视频檙e going to see aren91裸聊视频檛 in record-breaking territory yet, but you can91裸聊视频檛 rule it out until we get through this week,91裸聊视频� Charbonneau added.

Beyond Monday, Jan. 15, Environment Canada says temperatures will begin to 91裸聊视频渕oderate91裸聊视频� and return closer to seasonal.

91裸聊视频淚t doesn91裸聊视频檛 look like this extreme cold is going to last through next week,91裸聊视频� Charbonneau said. 91裸聊视频淪till, we91裸聊视频檙e in for four days of very cold weather.91裸聊视频�

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.
