Fall weather creeping into forecast for the Okanagan

The Okanagan can expect another fine late summer day today before a weather change arrives, just in time for the weekend.

Environment Canada says major cities in the valley will reach a high of 28 Celsius under a mix of sun and cloud today, Sept.6.

Expect increasing clouds tomorrow with a high of 26 C and a 40 per cent chance of showers on Friday, continuing through the evening.

Saturday and Sunday will be a mixed bag of clouds and a 40 per cent chance of rain Saturday night, increasing to 60 per cent on Sunday.

Highs are expected to only reach 21 C on Saturday and 20 C on Sunday, with a 70 per cent chance of rain continuing into Sunday night.

Monday, expect to see showers and a high of 18 C.

Kelowna residents are used to normal highs of 22 C this time of year.

I have been looking for news in the South Okanagan - SImilkameen for 20 years, having turned a part time lifelong interest into a full time profession. After five years publishing a local newsletter, several years working as a correspondent / stringer for several local newspapers and seven years as editor of a Similkameen weekly newspaper, I joined iNFOnews.ca in 2014. My goal in the news industry has always been to deliver accurate and interesting articles about local people and places. My interest in the profession is life long - from my earliest memories of grade school, I have enjoyed writing.
As an airborne geophysical surveyor I travelled extensively around the globe, conducting helicopter borne mineral surveys.
I also spent several years at an Okanagan Falls based lumber mill, producing glued-wood laminated products.
As a member of the Kaleden community, I have been involved in the Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department for 22 years, and also serve as a trustee on the Kaleden Irrigation District board.
I am currently married to my wife Judy, of 26 years. We are empty-nesters who enjoy living in Kaleden with our Welsh Terrier, Angus, and cat, Tibbs.
Our two daughters, Meagan and Hayley, reside in Richmond and Victoria, respectively.
