Some clearing
A ridge of high pressure will build over the South Coast today in the wake of the weak front that moved through the coast last night.
This will bring a drying trend today with at least a partial clearing expected. The ridge will move to the east on Thursday, giving way to a front approaching from the Pacific. The front will be weak and will tend to dissipate as it arrives over Vancouver Island but it is still expected to produce some clouds over the area on Thursday with a slight chance of precipitation by Thursday night.
The front will dissipate over Vancouver Island on Friday leaving the area with just clouds and a slight chance of precipitation early Friday morning. Then a ridge of high pressure will begin to build over the South Coast leading to an improving trend for the remainder of Friday and a very nice day on Saturday with sunshine and mild temperatures. A cold front will be approaching the coast on Sunday, likely bringing precipitation in the latter part of the day and bringing cooler air early next week.
