The fog only went as far as Coombs Country Candy this morning when I left town. Hopefully, like Sunday, the fog burns off pretty early and we are rewarded with a beautiful afternoon.

It is clear and very crisp elsewhere on the Island. This pattern should continue until Wednesday when there is a chance of rain and Thursday when we look to be in for some rain and possible wind.

With temperatures so consistently around freezing evy morning we run the risk of some wet flurries on Wednesday, but without any Arctic air pushing in from the north, the southerly flow will quickly warm us up and wash away any hint of white stuff.

When fog isn’t around, expect temperatures at or above normal around 8-10C

And oh ya, we had an Earthquake on Saturday! It doesn’t seem to have been widely felt at all. It was 5.6 due West off of Tofino, and over 10km down, so no threats. If you were following Alberniweather on twitter you would have seen me retweet the notice from the West Coast Tsunami centre.

Have a wonderful week everyone!

This just in, I’ve been handed the official record of weekday weather observations in January for Port Alberni.

From left to right you have:
Cloudy, partly cloudy, rain, snow, thunderstorm, wind, and finally sun.

This is a weekly task in my daughters’ Grade 2 class at Alberni Elementary. :)
Definitely looks like the clouds had us beat.

Hooray for Science! (Did I get to do this cool stuff in Grade 2?)

The outlook for the next two weeks is pretty dry (the odd shower here and there) and stable. Highs around 8C. Should feel pretty springlike, and oh ya, Happy Groundhog Day!
