forecasts for coastal British Columbia issued by the Pacific weather
centre of Environment Canada at 4 PM PST Saturday 16 December 1995
for tonight Sunday and Monday.
The next scheduled forecast will be issued at 7 PM.

Synopsis for coastal BC.
  A weak front now crossing the coast will move inland this evening.
The front is giving a few showers to coastal British Columbia and a
few flurries inland on the north coast.  An intense low pressure
system over the Pacific is moving toward the queen charlotte islands.
Very strong winds and occasionally heavy rain will accompany this
system as it crosses the coast.  Hardest hit areas will be north of
northern Vancouver Island where southeast winds will reach warning
criteria.  Over inland sections of the north coast snow will change
to rain Sunday as the remnant arctic air is eroded by warm air moving
in with an approaching warm front.  A snowfall warning for north
coast inland sections has been issued.  The wet weather pattern will
continue on Monday over all areas.
