I think areas South of the Fraser get even more brisk outflow winds being closer to the valley, I think. :think:

Oh I meant snow and moisture wise. Also I'm more west than south I suppose, being barely north of the Fraser.

00z GFS looks similar to the 00z RGEM Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Cold and clear with that system lurking to the south offshore.

That's what I meant too,that maybe the outflow would blow some white stuff our way. ;)

Very dry air spilling through the Fraser Canyon. Moisture unable to overcome it.

Looks cold. The good news is this run is very dry (no precip at all through the weekend) which gives us a much needed break from rain.

Strong high in northern BC keeps the jet suppressed. Looks like it may get even colder by Friday

Could see impressive lows but lack of any snow cover will lead to surface temps creeping over the freezing mark in Metro Van.
