Familiar themes of sunshine and a dry sky will continue throughout the Okanagan this week.
That's according to Environment Canada's Ross MacDonald, who says a low pressure trough was behind the sprinkling of rain on the weekend.
He says that fully cleared out early this week.
"For the rest of the week, we kind of stabilize under a weak ridge of high pressure, with temperatures I would say at seasonal values, kind of in the mid to upper 20's. In the forecast high for Kelowna this week, we're going to 26 or 27 degrees," he said.
MacDonald also says smoke in the air won't be as heavy or persistent as it's been the last couple of weeks.
"Unlike say, the high pressure that we saw last week or the previous week, we really had little to no airflow to move the smoke anywhere, it just kind of stagnated and persisted," he said.
"The air flow aloft this week should be somewhat continuous out of the west to northwest. So the air quality and smoke conditions will likely vary a little bit more this week, but obviously still pretty bad in some localized areas as well."
As for the rain, he says there might be some action north of us over the weekend, but it remains to be seen if the rain will move this far south.
"Perhaps with the front pushing through what seems to be portions of the Cariboo, through Williams Lake and Quesnel and Prince George," he said
"We'll see if it makes its way further south here, and I'll have to fine-tune that, but at this point, it certainly looks dry at least into the weekend here."
