scheduled forecast will be issued at 6:00 AM PST Saturday.

discussion.
  A Pacific frontal system oriented northeast to southwest through
central Vancouver Island is weakening rapidly as it pushes against a
building ridge of high pressure over the Pacific northwest. By
tonight it is expected that the front will have dissipated leaving
the ridge to dominate the province. A second frontal system over the
eastern Pacific will remain offshore during the forecast period.
Freezing levels will remain unchanged for the period.

Freezing level..south..2300 metres coast to 1000 metres inland.
North..1000 metres. Below freezing temperatures near the surface
overnight all regions.

Extended outlook.
The ridge will hold over BC through boxing day. The front offshore
will move eastwards to the north and central coasts late Sunday then
dissipate late christmas day. Precipitation amounts associate with
this front should be light.
