forecasts for coastal British Columbia issued by the Pacific weather
centre of Environment Canada at 4 PM PST Saturday 30 December 1995
for tonight Sunday and Monday.
The next scheduled forecast will be issued at 7 PM.

Synopsis for coastal BC.
  It has been another soggy day on the coast of British Columbia.
A Pacific front has given steady rain all day to all areas south of
and including the central coast.  Snow is falling in the village at
Whistler and further accumulations of up to 12 centimetres are
possible.  Around Vancouver the northshore mountains were also
reporting heavy snow this afternoon after the freezing level lowered
slightly.  Thankfully the front is moving rapidly eastward and will
cross the coast mountains this evening.  Steady precipitation will
become intermittent then cease entirely overnight as the front
departs.
  The same front is just clipping the southermost portion of the
north coast.  Aside from a few evening showers near the front skies
will remain mostly cloudy.  Patchy fog will form overnight.
  A ridge of high pressure will build for Sunday.  The ridge will
enhance the drying trend west of the front and cloudy skies with a
few sunny periods are forecast for Sunday.  The break in
precipitation will be brief however.  Another warm front is expected
to arrive on the north coast Sunday night and on the south coast
Monday.

coast.  North near 1300 metres along the coast and 700 metres inland.

mountain weather forecast for coastal British Columbia issued by the
Pacific weather centre of Environment Canada in Vancouver at 2:00 PM
PST Saturday 30 December 1995 valid until midnight Sunday.  The next
scheduled forecast will be issued at 6:00 AM PST Sunday.

Precipitation intensity is forecast as an
hourly rate of snowfall water equivalent.
  Nil      light     moderate    heavy      very heavy
no pcpn  1 to 2 mm  3 to 4 mm  5 to 6 mm  more than 6 mm

discussion.
A fast-moving upper front parallel to the west coast of Vancouver
Island and brushing the southern queen charlotte islands will cross
the coast mountains this evening. Steady precipitation accompanies
the front from the central coast southward. Steady precip will become
showery west of the front this evening and diminish overnight. A
ridge building quickly behind the front will bring drier conditions
to the coast Sunday.

Freezing level..1800 metres south. 1000 metres north. Near freezing
layers inland to the surface.

Extended outlook.
On Monday the upper ridge shifts east and flattens out allowing a low
pressure system to move into the northern gulf of Alaska. The
low will drag a warm front across the coast mountains from the
southwest. Freezing levels will rise to at least 2000 metres in the
south and 1600 metres in the north with moderate precipitation
expected. On Wednesday the upper ridge is re-established over the
gulf of Alaska and a northwest flow pattern sets up across the coast
ranges. The northwest flow will mark the beginning of a drier colder
period.

South coast mountains.
Warnings.. None.
Moderate easing to nil to light overnight. Nil Sunday.
Mountaintop winds..southerly 40 to 60 km/h easing to southwest 25 to
