Synopsis
An atmospheric river will remain aimed at the BC South Coast today and tonight. With a west-southwest flow aloft over the coastal mountains, there is considerable subsidence in our area, as is typical. Another frontal wave will slide in later today and tonight with some light rain likely for the resort area at that time. The air has become milder and will be even milder tonight and on Tuesday. Wind today will be mostly from the south at 5 to 10 km/h with gusts to 25 km/h in the alpine this morning. A building upper-level ridge of high pressure on Tuesday will lead to very mild and dry weather, with a little sunshine possible in the afternoon.
Extended Outlook
Wednesday to Friday: A weak upper trough will slide through from the west on Wednesday with some cloud cover but no precipitation expected. It will remain mild. A high-pressure ridge will settle over the area Thursday and into next weekend. Thursday and Friday will be a little cooler than Wednesday in a NW flow aloft. A very strong temperature inversion will rebuild on Friday and into the weekend with dry and mild weather (and sunshine) on the mountains. Cooler air will settle in the valley in that timeframe.
