Synopsis
A dry, cool north-to-northwest flow aloft, between an offshore upper ridge and a cold upper low over the Prairies, will hold over the weekend. This cooler, drier flow has weakened the inversion and eroded most of the low cloud/fog out of the valley. As a result, expect sunny skies, with just the odd patch of low cloud/fog on Sunday morning. Winds will continue to be very light over the lower slopes, while light but gusty N to NW winds will continue in the alpine.
Extended Outlook
Monday to Wednesday: The flow aloft is now forecast to weaken and turn more to the west as the offshore upper ridge slowly moves eastward into the province during the outlook period. This should result in increased cloud cover and milder temperatures as a Pacific airmass slowly infiltrates the area. Despite the pattern change, there is still no sign of any significant snowfall. Temperatures should remain below freezing at all levels on the mountain, and winds should remain light.
