forecasts for coastal British Columbia issued by the Pacific weather
centre of Environment Canada at 10 AM PST Saturday 18 november 1995
for today and Sunday.
The next scheduled forecast will be issued at 4 PM.

Synopsis for coastal BC.
  After fourteen days in a row with rain there is finally some relief
in sight for the coast of British Columbia.  Last nights monster low
pressure system and the associated cold front have now blown into
saskatchewan.  Colder air is spreading through the coast mountains
bringing lower freezing levels and further relief for ski hill
operators.
  A weak upper front moving across the Charlottes and Vancouver
Island May provide scattered showers or flurries in the mountains
today.  After this front moves into the interior gradual clearing
will occur across all areas later today or tonight.  A ridge of high
pressure will then establish itself over the interior and herald a
change to a much drier period on the coast.  The one exception to the
drier regime will be the queen charlotte islands.  An offshore
Pacific front May give some showers to the islands.

mountain weather forecast for coastal British Columbia issued by the
Pacific weather centre of Environment Canada in Vancouver at 2:00 PM
PST Saturday 18 november 1995 valid until midnight Sunday.  The next
scheduled forecast will be issued at 6:00 AM PST Sunday.

Precipitation intensity is forecast as an
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

discussion.
A weak upper front in a line through Vancouver Island and the queen
charlotte islands will move to lie just east of the coast mountains
by midnight tonight. Ahead of the front a few showers or flurries
will produce a few centimetres of snow at higher elevations.
Behind the front a sharp upper ridge will bring drier more stable
air to the coast mountains.

Freezing level..in the south 1300 metres rising to 1800 metres late
Sunday. In the north 1000 metres rising to 1300 metres late Sunday.

Extended outlook.
The upper ridge will dominate weather across the south through
Tuesday with dry surface outflow conditions. In the north the ridge
will move far enough east to allow frontal systems near the coast by
Monday. The systems May spread to the south Wednesday but even that
is

doubtful since a blocking pattern over the eastern Pacific will
likely

hold the ridge stationary in the south.

South coast mountains.
Warnings.. None.
Light flurries today decreasing to nil tonight through Sunday.
Mountaintop winds..southwest 30 to 40 km/h easing to light tonight.
