Last week, the Vancouver weather forecast was predicting snow and freezing rain across the Lower Mainland.
Now, the forecast calls for rain, but it isn't expected to clear anytime soon. In fact, the forecast calls for rain over the next 10 days.
Beginning on Monday, December 10, the forecast calls for a 40 per cent chance of showers in the morning; however, that prediction increases to 60 per cent in the evening as the temperature falls to four degrees.
Following this, Tuesday calls for rain accumulating in 20 mm of rainfall over a 24 hour period with a high of seven degrees.
Wednesday is slightly drier with the forecast calling for a few showers accumulating in 15 - 20 mm of rainfall over a 24 hour period. Thursday will see steady rain, followed by light rain on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
On Tuesday, December 18, the forecast calls for cloudy skies and a few showers, with a similar forecast for Wednesday.

On Friday, Nov. 30, a freak storm passed through Metro Vancouver late in the morning and caused a number of commuter delays. Following the storm, however, the rest of the weekend was sunny and dry.
The Weather Network has also released its B.C. winter forecast and it may come as a shock to some. In fact, it is looking decidedly mild overall. The Lower Mainland is expected to see fewer episodes of Arctic air as well as fewer threats of significant snow.
