Synopsis
A weak cold front is forecast to cross the area early this afternoon, bringing a few flurries to the resort. Amounts of 1 to 3 cm are expected. The cold front will be followed by a cooler, slightly unstable airmass tonight and Monday. Daytime heating of the airmass will likely produce some afternoon clouds and a chance of a brief light flurry on Monday afternoon. With a cooler airmass moving in, temperatures over the next couple of days will be about 3 to 6 degrees cooler than Saturday's values. Winds will be light from the west to southwest this morning, then switch to NW this afternoon with the cold front's passage.
Extended Outlook
Tuesday to Thursday: A ridge of high pressure will keep conditions cool on Tuesday, then a warming trend will take hold by mid-week as a moderate SW flow aloft develops ahead of a deep upper low approaching the south coast of BC. Freezing levels will likely reach mid-mountain by Wednesday or Thursday. Little or no precipitation is expected throughout the period.
