forecasts for coastal British Columbia issued by the Pacific weather
centre of Environment Canada at 4 PM PST Monday 27 november 1995 for
tonight Tuesday and Wednesday.
The next scheduled forecast will be issued at 7 PM.

Synopsis for coastal BC.
  A continuous and moisture-laden frontal band will persist across
the south coast for the next couple of days.  Periods of rain tonight
will become steadier and locally heavy on Tuesday giving rainfall
totals of up to 100 millimetres over parts of north and west
Vancouver Island with 40 to 80 millimetres expected elsewhere across
the south.  Consequently heavy rain warnings remain in effect for
these areas.  Gusty southeast winds are also anticipated mainly over
exposed coastal sections.  An influx of very mild air will result in
daytime temperatures climbing several degrees above seasonal normals
for the next couple of days.
  The north coast will escape the worst of the rain but can expect to
be brushed by the northern extreme of impulses rippling along the
frontal band.  This will result in mainly cloudy skies and occasional
rain through Wednesday.  Outflow winds through northern mainland
inlets will continue to draw colder air from the interior allowing
precipitation to fall in the form of snow over some inland sections
of the north coast.

Freezing level..south..1100 metres rising to 2000 metres overnight
and 2900 metres Tuesday.  North..700 metres except near the surface

mountain weather forecast for coastal British Columbia issued by the
Pacific weather centre of Environment Canada in Vancouver at 2:00 PM
PST Monday 27 november 1995 valid until midnight Tuesday.  The next
scheduled forecast will be issued at 6:00 AM PST Tuesday.

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.
An arctic front will remain in a northwest to southeast line just
north of stewart through Tuesday afternoon.
Continuous moisture-laden frontal band across south coast for
next 2-3 days. Currently there is a shallow wave along the band
near northern Vancouver Island with warm front southeastward along
the west side of the Island and a cold front west-southwestward.
The wave will continue southeastward into washington tonight.
Next significant wave near 48n/148w this afternoon moving to lie
about 150 nm sw tofino by Tuesday afternoon. Abundant moisture
associated all along front with most nearest this second wave.
A sub-tropical feed along 150 w will supply significant moisture to the
band. Heavy precipitation and rising freezing levels are expected as
warm air advection occurs gradually over the south especially overnight
and Tuesday. Northern sections of the central coast as well as the north
coast should generally remain to the north of the baroclinic zone with
less precipitation expected for these regions.

Freezing level..south..1100 metres rising to 1800 metres this
overnight and to 2600 metres Tuesday.  North..600 metres rising to 1000
metres southern sections Tuesday.

Extended outlook.
Warm moist baroclinic zone remains stalled over south through Wednesday.
It then shifts slightly south for Thursday and Friday meaning the brunt
of precipitation should head towards washington state. A somewhat cooler
but moist airmass associated with a longwave trough will follow
behind the baroclinic zone with falling freezing levels expected.

South coast mountains.
Warnings.. Heavy rain warnings extended to all regions.
Light to moderate snow this afternoon changing to rain and becoming
locally heavy tonight and Tuesday.
Mountaintop winds..west 30 to 50 km/h.

confidence..fair..baroclinic zone has significant subtropical moisture
entrained but upper flow will only gradually back from west-northwest
to west-southwest tonight through Tuesday. Hence heaviest precip
on Tuesday.
