Detailed Forecast

Sunny and clear conditions expected through tonight. Light ridge winds and extremely mild temperatures are also expected with freezing level near 3200 m today then falling to 1800 m overnight tonight.

Synopsis

A strong ridge of high pressure over western Canada continues to bring clear conditions and extremely mild temperatures with freezing levels in the 2600-3200 m range and light ridge winds through Wednesday morning. The ridge breaks down midday Wednesday allowing for a low to develop over the region with rain showers expected in the afternoon (freezing levels are expected to remain above 2200 m) then wet flurries in the evening as freezing levels fall to 1800 m. Light ridge winds expected through Wednesday morning, increasing to moderate by the late afternoon.

3 to 5 Day Outlook

Lingering moisture from the low that developed on Wednesday is expected to bring isolated to scattered flurries on Thursday/Friday. Light ridge winds and freezing levels in the 1600-1800 m range are also expected.

Resort Elevations:

Valley Base (City of Kelowna) - 344m (1,128 ft)
Bottom of Gem Lake Express – 1,511m (4,957 ft)
Village Centre – 1,755m (5,757 ft)
Summit – 2,319m (7,606 ft)

Visitors should be aware that mountain weather can be variable and change quickly. Daytime temperatures can be 5C to 10C degrees cooler at the summit and sky conditions may vary with elevation. Summit levels are also often breezier as wind flows unimpeded by trees and buildings. If you are headed to the top, be prepared, dress appropriately and you be sure to enjoy all that Big White Mountain Resort has to offer. We will update our Weather Forecast daily during our Summer Hours of Operation.
