SHORT-TERM FORECAST 

A weak zonal flow will keep plenty of clouds over our region, but no significant precipitation is expected through at least early Monday. Thereafter, a low pressure system offshore will begin making its way inland. The track is still a bit uncertain, but models have been trending wetter over the past few days, indicating a better chance for most areas to see some degree of measurable rain later Monday through Wednesday. Snow levels will also be on the decline as the week progresses. 

 

LONG-TERM FORECAST 

A secondary, even colder storm system is poised to move down the BC coast and follow in the footsteps of the first storm. This system will lower snow levels in the mountains, though models remain uncertain on exact precipitation amounts at this time. Even some wet snow is possible down to the northern valley floors late in the week during the overnight hours. There is poor model agreement beyond Friday, as some models are forecasting drier weather, while others are calling for more rain and snow showers. Temperatures as a whole should remain below average. Looking a bit further ahead into the 1st half of November, the pattern looks to really ramp up with an active storm track taking aim on the Northwest, which will send several fronts over our region.
