Metro Vancouver can expect a round of wet snow throughout the day on Friday.
Global News meteorologist Mark Madryga says it’s still cold enough in the Lower Mainland, as well as in the Fraser Valley to expect some mixed rain, snow showers, and in some places freezing rain.
“Some showers of rain and mixed rain and snow are likely today here in Metro Vancouver. But overnight through Saturday morning, a greater chance of wet snow accumulating in more areas, as a weather system slides in from the southwest,” he says. “That includes the Fraser Valley, where there’s also a risk of freezing rain through Saturday morning.”
He also notes that Saturday will be the day to watch more closely.
From Saturday right through to Monday, the wet weather trend continues for the South Coast and Vancouver Island.
Parts of Vancouver Island will are expected to see up to 160 millimetres of rain over the three days, and as temperatures warm up heavy rain is expected to fall on the North Shore mountains.
Then Saturday night through Monday, it’s going to be very wet on the South Coast and Vancouver Island.
As for Monday night heading into Tuesday, colder air is expected to spread across the region again and showers will turn to snow over higher elevations.
