Sunday night snow forecast for Metro Vancouver
A major change in the upper atmospheric weather pattern across western North America means itâs going to get colder and thereâs a chance of snow on the way for B.C.âs South Coast. Meteorologist Mark Madryga says while it will be raining across the B.C. South Coast for most of the weekend, the colder air will begin to surge southwards starting Saturday night. For the South Coast, the lower temperatures on Sunday will combine with some low pressure just off the coast, leading to a chance of flurries in the mix, especially at higher elevations. That cold air will continue into next week, meaning there is a continued chance of snow. However, Madryga says pinpointing exactly where that snow will fall and how much is extremely difficult at this time. Most of Monday and Tuesday look drier and colder, with low temperatures falling several degrees below freezing in the Lower Mainland.
