Detailed Forecast
Sunny and clear conditions expected through tonight. Light ridge winds and extremely mild temperatures are also expected with freezing level near 3200 m today then falling to 1800 m overnight tonight.
Synopsis
A strong ridge of high pressure over western Canada continues to bring clear conditions and extremely mild temperatures with freezing levels in the 2600-3200 m range and light ridge winds through Wednesday morning. The ridge breaks down midday Wednesday allowing for a low to develop over the region with rain showers expected in the afternoon (freezing levels are expected to remain above 2200 m) then wet flurries in the evening as freezing levels fall to 1800 m. Light ridge winds expected through Wednesday morning, increasing to moderate by the late afternoon.
3 to 5 Day Outlook
Lingering moisture from the low that developed on Wednesday is expected to bring isolated to scattered flurries on Thursday/Friday. Light ridge winds and freezing levels in the 1600-1800 m range are also expected.
