We are expecting sunny skies tomorrow with increasing clouds and a chance of late flurries with an excellent chance of snow on Thursday and highs struggling to make it near freezing.

Yesterday

Dry but Chilly

Although it hasn't been that cold in Chilliwack we have had high windchills making it feel uncomfortably cold. Friday night and into Saturday Vancouver got hit with a significant snowfall, as much 15 centimeters in some areas. Here we got nothing but this morning there were some flurries with moderate winds. There wasn't much evidence of the white stuff in Sardis but in Chilliwack there was some on the side of the roads and trace amounts on the grass.

The cold is expected to continue until Thursday when temperatures rise above freezing with snow possibly changing to rain. Tuesday and Wednesday are looking like the coldest with forecast lows near -10 C.
