The cold temperatures currently being felt in Prince Rupert are going to seem even a little bit colder as the day moves forward, with Environment Canada issuing a WIND WARNING for the North Coast.
The source of the shift in the winds is a Strong Arctic ridge of high pressure which is providing for outflow winds of 80 to 100 km/h through the day, with conditions expected to continue tonight before the winds abate on Friday afternoon.
Temperatures through the day will hover near the -1 mark, with an overnight low expected to be around -5.
The cold snap will be short lived with precipitation and warmer temperatures on the way for the weekend, though there is a chance of some snow and freezing rain on Friday afternoon as we transit from the cold front of the North to the moist pacific front.

| A Clear and Cold Thursday will give way to warmer and wetter conditions by the weekend as a Pacific front arrives on the North Coast |
The rain and warmer temperatures are expected to remain with us into the next week.
