   As of 07:00 Hours this am we have overcast skies, variable visibility and it is snowing lightly.



For the forecast, a weak upper level low will slowly move Southward today bringing mostly cloudy skies this morning, we can expect isolated showers as the air mass is moist and somewhat unstable with more frequent breaks as the day progresses. Westerly flow aloft for today with a shift to Northwest flow by Saturday.  A weak ridge will begin to form Saturday for unsettled conditions improving later in the day with more sun. The ridge strengthens on Sunday for warmer temperatures and sunny skies. A weak upper level trough will bring a slight chance of some isolated showers for Monday with unsettled conditions into Tuesday. The ridge will likely build for Wednesday with very warm temperatures but more on that in Monday's post.

    Low will spin clouds our way as it slides South.

    Unsettled with some isolated rain showers.

    Clouds in the morning improving through the day.

    Sunny and warm for Sunday.

    Warm air to the South will likely move into BC if the high builds mid next week.
