A cold weekend ahead



Arctic outflow this weekend as a steep pressure gradient develops Saturday night, cold air from the interior will continue spilling out of the coastal valley's through Tuesday. A bit of a warming trend for early next week as a system approaches from the southwest. Wednesday may bring the first chance of precipitation as the ridge of high pressure breaks down. 

Some really cold temperatures out there this morning for Whistler anyway.

Peak -24C wind north 40km/ph gusting 70km/ph that's -42C with windchill! Frostbite is a very real danger today up there!
