Tomorrow, a cold front is forecast to sweep across northern B.C., generating strong winds, thunderstorms and the potential for dry lightning. With recent hot, dry weather, new wildfire starts are anticipated, particularly in northern regions.
Although southern portions of B.C. will be less impacted by this weather event, the Southern and Central Interior may experience increased winds and isolated dry lightning.
We are prepared to respond to new wildfires and increased wildfire activity. With the potential for aggressive fire behaviour and high rates of spread during these weather conditions, we ask everyone to pay attention to local updates and alerts in your area, stay up to date on the current wildfire situation and check for bans and restrictions in your area.
