A cold looking cloud shrouded Whistler most of yesterday morning.
At 2240 meters the temperature was -9, winds were calm. At 1650 meters the temperature was -6, no new snow recorded there. In the valley it was -6. Observations taken at 06:00 hrs this am.
For the forecast the weather pattern will continue to be unsettled for today, an upper ridge of high pressure is in our zone but high clouds are also in the area. This pattern will likely give us sunnier skies for tomorrow with little change until Tuesday when it will get cloudier, but no real precipitation until Thursday.
