A windy start to the day!
A low over Alberta and a high to the southwest of us put us in the middle where there are tightly packed isobars, and whenever you see that on a surface analysis map, you know it’s going to be blustery!
Today, an upper ridge sets up offshore, and although this morning there are a few sunny breaks out there, the northwesterly flow pattern will keep a chance of showers in the forecast for later today.

The upper ridge will push into BC tomorrow and Wednesday bringing us a better chance of sun.
Today’s High: 5 to 10C (yes very mild!!! Columbia regions will be cooler though.)
Tonight’s Low: -1 to 4C
