Nitinaht Forecast

Last updated: Thursday June 4th by JCH

Forecast for wind and weather for Friday, June 5, 2026

Not much happening on the lake today Thursday. Some wind in the morning, but then it died.

The forecast is predicting that two low pressure system are heading our way. The first system has arrived and will leave towards Friday evening. Tofino is expecting periods of rain and Port Alberni is expecting showers. The temperature difference between the two stations is only 1C.

Bottom Line: Similar as today Thursday. A light to moderate SW wind will push up the valley together with periods of rain.

Outlook: The low will exit to the SE on Friday night. We may see some clearing on Saturday, however the temperature difference is minimal, not enough to drive the wind engine. The next low will arrive Sunday evening. Expect rain for Monday and Tuesday, clearing on Wednesday.

Here is the good news. A strong ridge is building and strengthening on Wednesday. A strong ridge means warm weather and great thermal conditions.

    I love the Nat. And I can watch the sunset on the lake now. And watch wind people. And watch the  sun rise while having a coffee. Thanks so much Marie and Dave!
