Due to the weather and flood predictions for the next few days, we are postponing our virtual garage sale indefinitely.
The Grand Forks temperature highs for Friday, May 29 & Saturday, May 30 are predicted at 33 degrees and 31 degrees.
Here’s the Env Canada weather prediction for the Boundary:
“Strong thunderstorms late Saturday followed by significant rainfall on Sunday.
A significant change in the weather will arrive on Saturday as a low pressure system enters B.C. from Washington State. Ahead of the low Saturday afternoon, atmospheric conditions are potentially conducive to strong thunderstorms with frequent lightning and very strong wind gusts. Heavy rain may accompany these storms.
Widespread rainfall will accompany the low pressure system Saturday night and Sunday which may strain local rivers.”
