There’s a small chance Victoria could see thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon

Did someone forget to flip the switch to spring?

Last week, we saw sun, rain and a couple windstorms topped off with a weekend of snowfall, so why would this week be any different, right?

Oh, and let’s not forget to mention, at 6 a.m. on April 10th, a low of 1.8°C was recorded in the Victoria-Gonzales area—the lowest temperature recorded for the day was 0.06°C in 1903, followed by 1.7°C in 1902.

This morning, Greater Victoria residents were once again in for a rude awakening as large snowflakes fell across the region, and no, it wasn’t cherry blossoms.

Now, according to Environment Canada, Victoria could see a risk of thunderstorms late Tuesday afternoon into the evening.

And if that wasn’t enough, the weather agency is warning there could be a little wind in the forecast.

Early this afternoon, Victoria could see southwest winds of 20 km/h with it increasing to 30 km/h into the evening with potential wind gust reaching 50 km/h.

The good news in all this, the long weekend is quickly approaching and there will be glimpses of sunshine throughout the week.
