    992mb low

    A 992mb low out of the gulf of Alaska will descend toward the coast mountains this late this afternoon bringing snow to the valley with moderate winds. The main shot of precip will go south, however there will be some spinoffs for us. The first good amount of snow will begin mid morn Saturday. This low will then stall off Vancouver island through Wednesday bringing more snow. The flow should then switch NW later in the week.

    This morning a weak trough of low pressure over the inner south coast will move inland early this morning bringing a quick power flurrie. It should clear for awhile this morning before high cloud makes its approach this afternoon. An intense front will move into the offshore waters this afternoon. By early Saturday morning the front will extend southeastwards...Pray for snow.

    Morning power flurries

    Well it looks like the island sucked up all the moisture last night dropping 27cm on Mt. Washington overnight.

    We got just a skiff overnight, a major power flurry has just started up this morning maybe bringing a couple of cm's then sunny breaks this afternoon. The satellite loop from last night shows all the weather splitting either to the north of south of us.

    A weak low over central Vancouver Island will move inland this morning. A trough of low pressure in a north to south line over the offshore waters will cross the Charlottes this morning. The trough will lie through the Lower Mainland by Friday morning. An intense front will move into the offshore waters Friday afternoon.

    Saturday will bring more snow with a system approaching 984mb low looks like it will bring moderate snowfall...We'll see...

The southern one will move northeast to near Tofino this evening then weaken to the north of Campbell River early Thursday morning. A third will approach western Vancouver Island Thursday afternoon bringing more power flurries to the area. Another storm Saturday will bring snow to all elevations as it crosses the south coast dropping hopefully over 20cm.
