Synopsis for coastal BC.
  A notable change in the weather pattern for the British Columbia
coast - believe it or not a change for the worst.  A frontal system
approaching Vancouver Island from the southwest today will bring
periods of rain to the south coast.  Over the north increasing clouds
and a few showers will replace the sun that has been dominant the
last few days.  The milder southwest flow off the Pacific will allow
afternoon temperatures to climb into the mid to upper teens on Sunday
but skies are expected to remain cloudy and a chance of showers will
persist.
