As that disturbance continues to tract to the east into Alberta

Weather forecast
-------------------

Weather: Below that around the Vancouver island area, a mixture of sun and clouds for the most part today, very slim chance of precipitation. Maybe the odd scattered shower, but for the most part, partly cloudy skies for you today in Vancouver and Victoria.
New scattered showers as I say inland as we get to Kamloops, Kelowna, through the BC interior Prince George, that's where we're looking at our scattered showers, as that disturbance continues to tract to the east into Alberta.

---------------------------------------------

Is "as" an adverb or a conj or a pron or a prep?


What does "as" mean in this sentence? ?



Thank you

In the given context 'as' is a conjunction that means 'while'. By the way, it should be 'track' (verb), not 'tract' (noun). High pressure centered in the Midwest will force storms to track to the north.
