Queen Charlotte Sound.

At 10:30 a.m. PST today building ridge located over northern
BC interior.


Marine Weather Statement
Issued 10:23 AM PST 27 February 2011



A 991 MB low sitting over Langara will slowly drift southwards to
Queen Charlotte Sound by early Monday morning.

South of the low, strong to gale force westerlies will occur today
then continue tonight and tomorrow for most offshore, northern, and
central waters.

A ridge of high pressure building over the British Columbia interior
will combine with the area of low pressure off the British Columbia
coast to produce gale force outflow winds near the mainland inlets of
the north and central coasts. Winds are expected to increase near the
northern coastal inlets beginning this afternoon, then spreading to
the central coast inlets by early Monday morning.







It's abating a bit and the snow has disappeared from the decks but still a bit on the dock.
