5:01 AM PST Saturday 08 November 2014
Special weather statement in effect for:

  • East Vancouver Island

A major change in the weather pattern will begin on Monday.
A shift in the flow pattern will occur Monday following the passage of a moist and unseasonably mild Pacific frontal system this weekend. A cold Arctic ridge of high pressure building over the BC Interior will cause strong northeasterly outflow winds to develop through the mainland valleys on Monday. Consequently, temperatures will lower to about 5 degrees below seasonal normals by Tuesday with freezing temperatures expected for several nights.
The public is advised to monitor future forecasts and warnings as warnings may be required or extended.

Please monitor the latest forecasts and warnings from Environment Canada at www.weatheroffice.gc.ca.

It's most interesting as this NOT an El Nino type effect at all! ........more of a La Nina pattern..... but it got down to about 2 degrees C last night and a nice fog layer to wake up to this morning!
