Synopsis
An atmospheric river will remain aimed at the BC South Coast through Monday. A frontal wave that rolled into the resort area overnight is moving to the east. Snowfall is easing to a few flurries now, with a chance of flurries this afternoon and tonight. Some rain showers may be mixed in at lower elevations later on. Another frontal wave will slide in later Monday and Monday night with milder air and mostly rain up to mid-mountain at that time. Wind will increase later this morning and into the afternoon to S 10-15 km/h, with gusts to 30 in the alpine. Wind will rise a little more tonight and into Monday morning as well.
Extended Outlook
Tuesday to Thursday: A building upper-level ridge of high pressure on Tuesday will lead to very mild and dry weather, with a little sunshine likely. A westerly flow on Wednesday will add some cloud cover but it will remain mild and dry. The freezing level will soar on Tuesday to over 3000 m and fall somewhat Wednesday night into Thursday – back to 1500 m Thursday. A high-pressure ridge will settle over the area Thursday and into next weekend. Thursday will be several degrees cooler than Wednesday and dry.
