While Vancouverites should keep their sunnies on deck for most of this week, a colder, wetter pattern is expected for the weekend. Last week, Metro Vancouver saw its first snowfall in three decades after a powerful windstorm brought down more than 400 trees. Now, Vancouver’s weather forecast includes plenty of sunny weather, but another chance for snow as temperatures drop across the region. Tuesday (November 15) is expected to be sunny with a maximum temperature of 8 degrees during the day and an overnight low of zero degrees. Following this, Wednesday’s forecast includes more sunshine with a milder overnight low of 4C. Temperatures are expected to drop back to freezing on Thursday night, with a chilly overnight low of -1C expected on Friday. While Saturday is expected to be sunny during the day, there is a 30 percent chance of flurries overnight as temperatures drop to the lowest level. After that, however, Sunday is expected to see showers throughout the day, with a milder overnight low of 3C. Monday’s forecast also includes periods of rain.
