forecasts for coastal British Columbia issued by the Pacific weather
centre of Environment Canada at 10 AM PST Saturday 17 February 1996
for today and Sunday.
The next scheduled forecast will be issued at 4 PM.
Synopsis for coastal BC.
Last weeks ridge is now but a distant memory for coastal
British Columbia. Sunshine and record high temperatures have been
replaced by clouds and rain. The temperatures although no longer
record breaking will remain a few degrees above seasonal values.
A trough of low pressure off the coast will spawn a series of
disturbances over the next few days. One disturbance is forecast to
cross the coast today bringing rain to the south and a few showers
to the north coast. Another system will bring more precipitation on
Sunday. Precipitation May be locally heavy with the arrival of each
disturbance then taper to less steady precipitation in the moist
unstable airmass between disturbances.
