Synopsis
A disturbance in a west-to-northwesterly flow aloft will bring a few cm of snow to the resort this morning. As the flow aloft increases and shifts to a more west to southwesterly direction this afternoon, subsidence will take over, limiting further snowfall and bringing cloudy breezy conditions to the resort later today, tonight, and Thursday. Temperatures will likely become a little milder on the slopes but should remain a few degrees below zero, while temperatures in the village will likely rise to a degree or two above zero during the afternoons. Wind on the slopes will increase and become gusty from the S to SW later today and persist overnight and Thursday.
Extended Outlook
Friday to Sunday: A light snowfall is possible late Thursday or Friday as the frontal band across central BC drops south and crosses the region. Cooler temperatures and a clearing trend should follow on the weekend as a high-pressure ridge settles over southern BC.
