Synopsis for coastal British Columbia.

brought periods of rain to most of the coast this morning.  The rain
is fairly spotty over the inner south coast but it will intensify
tonight and Friday as a low pressure centre moves up from the
southwest.  The low will bring strong southerly winds and rain at
times heavy on Friday.
  Strong southeast winds continue along the outer coast and wind
warnings remain in effect for north Vancouver Island and central and
north coastal areas but winds will ease today as the front moves
inland.  Showery precipitation will continue in behind the front over
these areas.
  Temperatures will continue mild with highs today and Friday three

mountain forecast guidance for coastal British Columbia issued by the
Pacific weather centre of Environment Canada in Vancouver at 6 AM PST
Thursday 16 november 1995 valid until midnight Friday.
The next scheduled guidance will be issued at 2 PM today.

Precipitation intensity is forecast as hourly rate
of snowfall water equivalent.
 Nil          light           moderate          heavy
no pcpn    up to 2.5 mm    2.5 to 7.5 mm    more than 7.5 mm

synopsis.
   A moderate southwesterly flow remains over the eastern Pacific
with a series of frontal waves embedded in the flow. The leading
wave is pushing onto the north coast this morning with a following
wave forecast to reach Vancouver Island tonight. A subsequent wave
will develop into a low Friday and reach Vancouver Island late in
the day. As a result extensive Pacific moisture and very high
freezing levels will produce rain on the BC coastal mountain range
tonight and Friday.

Freezing level.. South.. 2200 metres south to 1800 metres north and
1600 metres southeast. Levels rising to 2400 metres this afternoon
and near 3000 metres Friday. North..freezing levels near 1300 metres
rising to 1800 metres this afternoon remaining near 1800 metres
Friday.

Extended outlook..the deep low crossing Vancouver Island late Friday
will be followed be a weak ridge building over the south coast
Saturday. The ridge will remain over the south while a moderate
southwesterly flow holds over the north coast. Therefore rain will
ease in the south and continue in the north with freezing levels
lowering.

South coast mountains.
Warnings..nil.
Light occasionally moderate today becoming moderate to heavy tonight
and heavy Friday.
Mountaintop winds.. Southwest 20 km/h increasing to 30 to 40 km/h
this afternoon.

Central coast mountains.
Warnings..nil.
Moderate easing to light this afternoon. Light locally moderate
tonight. Moderate to heavy Friday.
Mountaintop winds.. Southwest 40 km/h increasing to 60 km/h this
afternoon.

North coast mountains.
Warnings..nil.
Light to moderate easing to light this afternoon. Light locally
moderate tonight. Moderate to heavy Friday.
Mountaintop winds..south-southwest 70 km/h.

Confidence..fair to good. Timing difficult with rapidly moving and
evolving systems. Models predicting warning-criteria precipitation
amounts for Friday so will likely issue rainfall warnings for much
of south coast after 12z model run.

This mountain weather forecast was produced for BC ministry of
transportation and highways, snow avalanche programs and applies
specifically to those areas in the forecast.  If further information
