Warm and Wet
Whistler Weather forecast
A frontal system over the BC coast will give periods of rain to the region today. The front will move north of the area overnight and Sunday as a ridge of high pressure begins to build in from the south.
A warm flow of air off the pacific is giving Whistler plenty of precipitation along with high freezing levels. The outlook into late next week looks bad for the mountains. Freezing levels will be high for all incoming systems through Thursday next week.
The freezing level is currently around 2300m. Last night saw winds at the top of Whistler mtn blowing 104km/ph.
Alpine base is 20cm and shrinking.
On a positive note environment canada is calling for below average temperatures through January, combine that with all this precip, and things could be looking up.
