From the Coastal Fire Centre:

Weather Forecast

SYNOPSIS: Most of the Coastal Fire Centre will see a return to warm and dry conditions this week. Showers and periods of rain can be expected in Haida Gwaii and the North Coast as a Pacific frontal system moves in from the Gulf of Alaska. These areas will remain relatively unstable through the week. Southern areas will continue to see gradual temperature rises and lower minimum RH values due to the position of a high-pressure ridge building Friday and Saturday. Light SW gusts can be expected through the south Friday. As the ridge flattens out Saturday the flow will be more westerly in the south with an uptick in gusts for the day.

OUTLOOK: A building offshore high-pressure ridge expands into the Fire Centre Friday, generally bringing drier and warmer conditions. Saturday through Monday temperatures will continue to rise in southern areas with dropping RH values. Precipitation will continue to remain in the north of the Centre, with potential for light showers on the Sunshine Coast Sunday. The first outflow pattern of the season will develop Monday and carry itself through into Tuesday. Moderate winds can be expected Monday accompanied with increasing drying conditions. The offshore ridge will continue to provide warm and dry conditions Tuesday, especially in southern regions. There is the potential for a mid-week low pressure system to develop with the potential for thunderstorms to develop increasing with this low. Otherwise, it will continue to be warm and dry overall.
