There is a report that 5 inches of hail fell in 10 minutes on the highway Tuesday. A maintenance worker said they were plowing the hail on 97c by the Elkhart Lodge on the way from Merritt to West bank or Kelowna. The hail was moderate size not really big stones that could damage property.

Hot summer weather is noted by people today.
