Coastal Fire Weather Forecast

OUTLOOK: Sunday to Tuesday: Sunday will be sunny and very warm as a sharp surface thermal trough lies over Vancouver Island. Moderate outflow winds will persist along the Mainland. Likely smoky on Sunday with the outflow continuing. Highs will be in the low 30’s with minimum RHs in the upper teens and 20s. Likely only fair recoveries on Sunday morning. No lightning forecast.Monday will still be mainly sunny and warm in the south. But the pattern starts to change as a deep upper low swings down from Haida Gwaii towards northern Vancouver Island. The airmass will become unstable and isolated showers or thundershowers will develop in the afternoon. Winds will switch from N-NE outflow to a SW inflow late in the day. On Tuesday the upper low gets closer to the Island and more widespread showers develop, possibly reaching the far southern zones. Still a risk for embedded lightning. Cooling to seasonal temps with inflow winds; much higher RHs
