For the forecast, the stalled front will eventually move on shore this morning with precipitation beginning around noon. It appears with the North South orientation of the moist air that most of the precipitation associated with the cold front will move Southward. The cold front will move through this evening into early Friday morning. The surface high will begin to rebuild for Friday for unsettled conditions and the chance of some post frontal showers. A weak warm front will move in for Saturday into Sunday with a spike in the freezing level to around 1500 meters by Sunday morning. The brunt of the warm front will be affecting our neighbours to the South of the boarder. Sunday the freezing level will drop back down to 1000 meters by the evening, with moderate to light precipitation during the day. Monday will be unsettled with the chance of post frontal flurries as the surface high once again rebuilds. Guesstimates 10-15 cm by Friday morning, 4-6 cm by Sunday morning, 8-10 cm by Monday morning.
