Synopsis
A frontal wave is moving through the Southern Interior this morning and then off to the east this afternoon. Some light snow associated will taper by early afternoon.

A trailing front is forecast to slide through our area later Friday afternoon and early evening with a few more flurries likely. Accumulations of 1-2 further cm are likely today and another 2-4 cm overnight. Wind at mid-mountain will be mostly southerly 10-15 km/h today and a little higher overnight and on Friday morning at SE 15-25 km/h.

Similar weather on Sunday and Monday with a westerly flow aloft (there is a chance of passing showers or flurries later Saturday and again later Sunday). Temperatures will be on the mild side with highs near freezing at mid mountain. A touch cooler Monday.
