The following discussion applies to southeastern British Columbia, including Whitewater, Crystal Mountain, and Apex Mtn; southwestern Alberta including Banff and Lake Louise; along with northeast Washington, northern Idaho, and northwest Montana, including Mt. Spokane, Silver Mtn, and Blacktail.

Dry weather will be the rule of thumb for the next several days, and even some sunshine to enjoy from time to time during the first half of the week.  Sunday will have more clouds than sun, as a weak front washes out as it approaches the coastline, and perhaps squeezes out some flurries, but no accumulation is expected.  A mix of clouds and sun will be with us for Monday and Tuesday as a weak rideg of high pressure will be with us.  Beginning midday Wednesday, clouds will increase as a weak front approaches once again but the area of high pressure by then will have slid off to the south and east allowing more of the front to affect us with some snow showers.  By the end of the week, and the start of the WInter Olympics, we will have a storm system affecting us giving us some moderate snow totals for both Thursday and Friday.  Right now, the heaviest of the snow looks to be with us early Friday morning, and early indications are that for the two day total of snow, we could see around a foot of snow, with perhaps some totals even higher closer to a foot and a half.  Stay tuned, as this is a big weekend for British Columbia and we will fine tune this as it gets closer.  To see what is in store for the first full weekend of the Olympics, and for those enjoying the slopes in Washington and B.C., please see our long range outlook below.
