A ridge of high pressure

A ridge of high pressure will persist over the South Coast from today into Wednesday.

The ridge over the South Coast will break down late Wednesday allowing a Pacific frontal system to move across the region on Thurday. Behind the front a weak ridge of high pressure will build onto the South Coast on Friday giving some sunny breaks although unstable conditions will still result in flurries developing over alpine areas. Another frontal system will push onto the BC coast on Saturday.
