June 22, 2014

    Friday was mostly cloudy with some showers, Max Temp in Whistler June 20, +14.6 with 1.4 mm.

    First day of summer started off with barely a cloud in the sky, clouds did slowly develop.

    High cloud moved in as the day progressed with some cumulus cloud as well.

    Peak of Wedge at 2892 meters was in the cloud by Saturday afternoon.

For the forecast the weak upper level ridge will give us another nice day with increasing high cloud moving in as the day progresses. A Southwesterly flow aloft should also bring some warmer temperatures. Early Monday morning is also looking nice, but a weak front will move into the area with cloudy skies and some precipitation expected late Monday night into early Tuesday morning. Unsettled weather will follow later on Tuesday, Wednesday into Thursday as a weak low remains in the area with low level onshore flow. Cooler temperatures can also be expected during this period. All the models are in disagreement to what happens later in the week, so more on that in the next post.

   As of 07:30 this am we have scattered cloud moving in from the South with unlimited visibility.
