Cindy Yu with Environment Canada says the ridge of high pressure mixed with moisture is causing fog to linger in the Central Interior.

91裸聊视频淭his is really nothing out of the ordinary, weather-wise,91裸聊视频� she said. 91裸聊视频淭his upper-level trough that is over the region provided some showers and with the snow still on the ground trying to evaporate, it is creating low-level moisture and that is basically cloud reaching all the way to the ground.91裸聊视频�

Yu believes it could take several hours for the fog to erode and the cloud cover to lift from the region.

The increased cloudiness is expected to continue into the weekend due to the upper-level low in the area being cut off from the jet stream in the Pacific.

91裸聊视频淭here is nothing to push the system out of the way and with this instability we will have a chance of showers here and there,91裸聊视频� Yu said. 91裸聊视频淩eally there isn91裸聊视频檛 a whole lot going on.91裸聊视频�

She says Environment Canada isn91裸聊视频檛 forecasting another strong system to move into the area despite a new weather pattern forming over the Pacific.

91裸聊视频淔or the next five to seven days there isn91裸聊视频檛 a whole lot (to forecast), this upper trough that is over the region brings instability that is embedded in this cold air and eventually will just dissipate on its own in the form of rain.91裸聊视频�

While many municipalities in the Okanagan and Shuswap fear rising water levels because of increased snowpack, Yu says Environment Canada does not anticipate any significant precipitation.

91裸聊视频淲eather-wise there is nothing to talk about, there is nothing significant about to happen.91裸聊视频�
