Temperature and dew point at 06Z tonight:

So maybe, briefly, if the stars align just right and precip rates are heavy enough. But probably a Burnaby Mountain / Westwood Plateau special.
Lots of uncertainty that comes with the intensity of the precip. Not a whole lot of cold aloft but there will be a rather weak offshore flow push with this weak system. Evaporative cooling at all layers needs heavier precip. Some runs show a very weak system, with light stratiform precipitation. Others have heavier precip being aided by low level wind shear.

It has certainly been a nice stretch of weather recently, imo.

Those stuck in fog may have a different opinion.

Skeptical of the pattern evolution. Doubt that much low level cold makes its way south but it was a way better run for the local Mountains.

The GEM is just the complete opposite. Full AR from Sunday through Thursday.

I believe the GEM often overdoes things in these setups?

No doubt the power of the :dancepine: will be in full force for the next little while.

Team :dancepine: wins this round.

Team :chilly: will look to make a comeback later in December. :silent:
