Heat warnings or special weather statements cover much of B-C as Environment Canada says unseasonable temperatures will continue through the weekend.
But it says there’s also a chance of showers as early as tonight over Metro Vancouver and over the weekend for parts of the southern Interior, including Lytton and Kamloops — where some of the most aggressive wildfires are burning.
Showers aren’t expected until Sunday night or Monday over Osoyoos, Penticton and Grand Forks, near the roughly 70-square kilometre Nk’Mip Creek blaze — and the forecast also carries the chance of lightning.
The wildfire service says its crews are ready to battle any new blazes as the fire risk remains high to extreme in the south and is beginning to climb again in the north after soggy weather reduced the risk earlier this month.
