mountain weather forecast for coastal British Columbia issued by the
Pacific weather centre of Environment Canada in Vancouver at 2:00 PM
PST Sunday 24 December 1995 valid until midnight Monday.  The next
scheduled forecast will be issued at 6:00 AM PST Monday.

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 upper high centred over northeast washington state
with an upper ridge extending northwards is forecast to continue to
build and drift only slowly eastwards into northern idaho Monday. A
north-south frontal band moving onto the north coast
today will weaken as it moves to a northeast-southwest line 60
miles west of bella coola by 4 AM Monday. A second nw-se frontal
system offshore will move to lie in a n-s line 90 miles
west of the Charlottes at 4 PM Monday and weaken. Preciptation will
ease with
each frontal band as they move east and into the upper ridge. No
precipitation is expected to the southeast of a bella coola to cape
scott line. Note that subsidence aloft is causing considerable
warming at snowpack levels with above zero air expected up to 10k
feet along the south coast.

Freezing level..
South coast..ranging from 2900 metres on the outer coast with near
or above freezing layers below 2900 metres inland.
North coast..ranging from 1600 metres near the coast to 500 metres
 inland.

Extended outlook.
Numerical guidance persists in trying to break down the upper ridge
too quickly over the south by Wednesday. Ridge
should persist into Thursday with just a brief brush of an upper
level disturbance producing cloud over the south Wednesday. In the
north a series of frontal systems will continue to cross from the
southwest Tuesday through Thursday. Freezing levels will be slightly
lower in extended period as 500 mb heights lower slightly.

South coast mountains.
Warnings..none.
Nil through Monday.
Mountaintop winds..southerly 15 to 35 km/h.

confidence..fair to good. Precip amounts in northern areas depend
on jet stream position which is hard to forecast with great
precision. Given the proper positioning of the jet terrace could
receive up to 25 mm of rainfall.

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
