mountain forecast guidance for coastal British Columbia issued by the
Pacific weather centre of Environment Canada in Vancouver at 4 AM PST
Wednesday 22 november 1995 valid until midnight Thursday.
The next scheduled guidance will be issued at 2 PM today.

Synopsis.
A strong southwesterly flow continues to push a series of frontal
systems across coastal BC. Initial front crossed the coast
overnight and will move across the interior today. Upper ridge of
high pressure will rebuild through the interior today but ridge will
weaken as an upper cold front southwest of the queen charlotte
islands moves eastward to lie cape st. James - cape scott -
southward early this evening. Bulk of precipitation with upper cold
front will affect north coast this afternoon with just a few showers
to the remainder of the coast this evening. Yet another cold front
will lie just west of the Charlottes and Vancouver Island early
Thursday and this front will push quickly across the coast and
through the interior Thursday afternoon. Steady precipitation will
accompany this system. Freezing levels have lowered slightly today
but will increase tonight and early Thursday as warm air ahead of
the next frontal system advects onto the coast.

Freezing level..south..2300 metres along the coast to 1800 metres
inland.  North..2000 metres along the coast to 1500 metres inland.
Levels lowering slightly today then increasing to 2500 metres coast
to 2100 metres inland in the south and to 2300 metres coast to 1800
metres inland north coast by Thursday morning. Below freezing layers
near the surface inland and north.

Extended outlook.
The persistant southwesterly flow will bring another front onshore
Friday. Late Friday a deep low pressure system offshore will move
inland on the north coast and fill. This will bring a cooler
unstable northwesterly flow across coastal BC Saturday and Sunday.

South coast mountains.
Warnings.. None.
Cloudy with light showers this morning. Sunny periods developing
late morning. Becoming mainly cloudy with light showers this evening.
Mountaintop winds..southwest 40 to 50 km/h.

Cloudy with light showers or flurries this morning. Light showers
with flurries over higher levels this evening with light rain
Thursday.

Sunny breaks this morning. Light showers or flurries this afternoon
and evening. Light to moderate rain with snow above 1200 metres
beginning Thursday morning. Mountaintop winds..south  to southwest
40 to 60 km/h.
