Weather Forecast

SYNOPSIS: The Fire Centre remains under a moist, weakly unstable westerly flow aloft. Below average maximum temperatures and showers are expected in all zones, again, with the heaviest showers expected in the North Island and Mid Coast Alpine areas, and the western facing slopes of the North and Mid Island zones. Showers diminish overnight and then intensify Friday as the last in a series of upper troughs approaches from the west. Showers taper off Friday evening. Fire Centre winds are generally light inflow throughout the period.

OUTLOOK: A ridge expands into the Fire Centre on Saturday for generally drier and warmer conditions. Sunday through Tuesday will be warm and dry across the Fire Centre, except in Haida Gwaii and northern Mid Coast where a series of weak disturbances riding the jet stream will bring a few showers through the period. Wednesday through Friday looks warm and dry over much of the Fire Centre, with only Haida Gwaii and perhaps far northern Mid Coast exposed to a chance of showers.
