Special weather statement in effect for:
Whistler
Major Shift in the Weather Pattern will Bring the First Heat Wave of the Season…
Beginning on Saturday, the cool showery weather pattern that has been affecting BC for the last couple weeks will start to give way to a strong and persistent ridge of high pressure. By Sunday, temperatures away from the immediate coast will start to peak into the low thirties. The ridge (and high temperatures) will push into the Interior by early next week, eventually affecting most of BC.
Indications are that this pattern will persist until at least the middle of next week… if not longer.
