Severe thunderstorm watch in effect for Lillooet

staff report
June 13, 2023 11:26am

Severe thunderstorm watch is in effect for Lillooet.

Conditions are favourable for the development of severe thunderstorms that may be capable of producing strong wind gusts, large hail and heavy rain, cautions Environment Canada.

“Lightning kills and injures Canadians every year. Remember, when thunder roars, go indoors! Severe thunderstorm watches are issued when atmospheric conditions are favourable for the development of thunderstorms that could produce one or more of the following: large hail, damaging winds, torrential rainfall,” the agency warns.

Rainfall amounts of 15 to 25 mm can also be expected, with wind gusts up to 60 km/h. Stronger wind gusts, and locally higher rainfall amounts are possible in thunderstorms.

“Rain and thunderstorms are expected to develop through the day, followed by gusty winds with the passage of the cold front. An upper level disturbance develops tonight, bringing rain and a risk of thunderstorms to eastern regions of the Province from the BC Peace River area to the Kootenay,” warns Environment Canada.

Gusty winds are likely to continue as well for the central interior and the North and South Thompson regions. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to BCstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #BCStorm.
