Unsettled for this am in a Southerly flow aloft. Low to our South will send some clouds into Southern BC this am, periods of rain this afternoon, high to the North will hopefully bring some sunny breaks later today??. The freezing level will rise above the local peaks. Tuesday is looking like a mixed bag, high is supposed to build but seems very unsettled. Periods of light rain for most of the day with a mix of sun and cloud by the evening.  Warm!! Wednesday is looking mostly overcast, hopefully wrong, some models are calling for some sun. Should see some sunny breaks.  Front arrives for Wednesday night with light rain into Thursday. Periods of light rain for Friday. Pattern continues into the weekend. Wish I had better news. Guesstimates: 1-4 mm by Tuesday am, 2-6 mm by Wednesday am, 0-1 mm by Thursday am, 5-10 mm by Friday am, 2-6 mm by Saturday am, 2-4 mm by Sunday am, 1-3 mm by Monday am.

       High pushes down but still a chance the low may send some rain our way on Tuesday.


       Hopefully the high is large enough to bring some sunny breaks on Tuesday.


      Still some lingering cloud on Tuesday.


      High looks to be building but more cloud may push in from the South.



      May see some lingering cloud on Wednesday.


      Low is large and could bring back some cool unsettled weather.


      Low will give us some wet weather Saturday.


      More of the same for Sunday.


      No high pressure on Saturday.
