mountain forecast guidance for coastal British Columbia issued by the
Pacific weather centre of Environment Canada in Vancouver at 4 AM PST
Friday 24 november 1995 valid until midnight Saturday.
The next scheduled guidance will be issued at 2 PM today.

Synopsis.
  Upper low near 52 n 144 w will move very slowly eastward during
the next 24 hours and gradually file. The quite cool and unstable
airmass associated with the low is now effect the both the north and
south coastal areas. A number of weak short waves rotating around it
combined with a diffluence flow along the coast mountains will give
enhanced areas of convective precipitation. By Saturday the low will
have filled into a trough and lie along 130 w. Cool air aloft will
give good convection particularly to the north coast.

Freezing level.. South.. Near 2200 metres. Lowering to 1700 metres
by this afternoon and 1300 metres by Saturday morning. Central
coast.. Near 1900 metres lowering to 1600 metres Friday evening and
1200 metres by Saturday morning. North.. Near 1500 metres lowering
to 1000 metres by Saturday morning except near 700 metres over
extreme north sections.

Extended outlook.
On Sunday a flat upper ridge will begin to build along the coast to
bring some brief stabilizing. On Monday the next upper low will form
near 50 n 150 w and begin building a ridge over the coast. This will
shift the frontal stream north again bringing higher freezing levels
milder temperatures and more rain to the region.

South coast mountains.
Warnings.. None.
Light locally moderate through Saturday.
Mountaintop winds..southwest 40 to 60 km/h.

Central coast mountains.
Warnings.. None.
Light to moderate through Saturday.
Mountaintop winds..southwest 40 to 60 km/h.

North coast mountains.
Warnings.. None.
Light to moderate through Saturday.
Mountaintop winds..southerly 30 to 50 km/h.

Confidence..fair. The moisture rotating around the low is a real
dogs breakfast. The short waves are moving very fast and it is
difficult to get any speed on them. Precipitation amounts will vary
widely with the southwest facing slopes receiving more. Meanwhile
the frontal band has moved well to the south of the region and is of
no concern at the moment.

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
