If you plan to attend the Remembrance Day ceremony Friday at the city hall cenotaph, dress for winter.
A 15 kilometre-per-hour wind predicted for tonight and Friday morning will produce wind chills in the -22 to -20 C range Friday morning, with Friday’s high temperature only expected to rise to -8 C.
There’s also a 30 per cent chance of flurries Friday afternoon.
The thaw for Prince George predicted by Environment Canada earlier this week is still in store for Prince George but it will take a few days before we start to feel what normal mid-November air should feel like for this region.
Clouds will dominate the sky again Saturday with a high of -8 C and a low of -10 C. Sunday’s forecast calls for a mix of sun and cloud and a high of -7 C and a low of -11 C, then climbing to -4 C on Monday, with a low that day of -8 C.
There’s good news for skiers and snowboarders hoping to take advantage of winter-like conditions, with more snow flurries expected Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. The predicted high on Tuesday is -1 C and it should reach -5 C on Wednesday, with lows both days in the -8 to -9 C range.
Normal temperatures for this time of year are a high of 1 C and a low of -6 C.
Tuesday’s low at Prince George Airport dipped down to -24.7 C, close to the record low of -27.2 C set in 1945. Our high yesterday was only -14.8 C. The Arctic cold front descended upon the city Sunday and we haven’t reached above -10 C since that day. Wednesday’s high reached -11.4 C and the low was -16 C.
The indoor Remembrance Day service starts at 9:15 a.m. at the Prince George Conference and Civic Centre, followed by a parade to the cenotaph which starts at 10:25 a.m.
