Synopsis for coastal BC.
  Little change is expected in the unsettled weather pattern of the
past few days.  Clouds and occasional bands of showers continue to
circulate around a trough of low pressure off the coast.  The airmass
is now cold enough that flurries are likely in many areas from
northern Vancouver Island northward as well as at higher elevations
around the south coast.  The airmass remains unstable and isolated
thundershowers are expected to develop along the south coast today as
the trough drifts slowly eastward.
  A weak frontal system will move down the coast from the northwest
on Thursday bringing wet snow to most areas of the coast Thursday
morning.  The snow will change to rain later in the morning in most
areas however.
