It is clearing out Friday night with mainly clear skies and light-moderate ridge winds over the weekend. Cooler temperatures in the -10C to -16C range and freezing levels falling to valley bottom on Friday, and the weekend.

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)
