Weekend Fire Weather Forecast

NO FIRE PERMITS AT THIS TIME.  Propane campfire appliances okay.  Be cautious.

For detailed synopsis see the link in the Coastal Fire Centre News in the adjoining post.

Afternoon highs may run a few degrees cooler than yesterday and humidity will be a little higher but values are still high enough to generate advisory fire behaviour conditions in the more volatile fuel types of the eastern zones areas as well as central Vancouver Island. Saturday sees the upper winds turn back to the southwest bringing cooling and increased moisture but little or no shower activity. 

For the most part it will be sunny Saturday.

OUTLOOK: (Sunday-Tuesday) The offshore upper trough crosses the fire centre on Sunday with considerable shower activity expected for the outer coasts, northern and parts of central Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast north of Sechelt.  

Southern and eastern sections remain mostly sunny and warm but not as hot. Showers ease up Monday as the next ridge builds and all areas return to sunny warm weather by Tuesday

Weekend Fire Weather Outlook

OUTLOOK: Friday sees the unstable southerly flow continue bringing another threat of afternoon convective development mostly for the eastern sections of Pemberton and Fraser. But also the temperatures will be a little cooler, humidity higher and there is a much better chance of shower activity.

For the Gulf Islands there is a 30% chance of showers Friday morning (70% chance we won’t get any precipitation) and a risk of thunderstorms.  Clearing in late afternoon, then back to drier weather for the long weekend.
