South west flow

A front approaching from the southwest has spread precipitation to the south coast once again. Milder Pacific air already dominated the North Shore mountains and will affect areas further inland by Saturday morning. A lull is expected on Sunday as a warm front just brushes the area with the bulk of the rain and snow falling on the north coast.
