Environment Canada has issued another special weather statement for the City of Vancouver calling for several chances of snowfall this week.
An unstable airmass moving over the coast may bring some "wintry conditions" to Metro Vancouver Monday (Dec. 13) night, according to the statement.
While lower elevations are expected to see more showery weather, places over 300 metres may see snowfall. Places at higher elevations may also see greater accumulations of snowfall heading into Tuesday morning (two to 10 cm).
The special weather statement is in effect for:
- Metro Vancouver - central including the City of Vancouver Burnaby and New Westminster
- Metro Vancouver - North Shore including West Vancouver and North Vancouver
- Metro Vancouver - northeast including Coquitlam and Maple Ridge
- Metro Vancouver - southeast including Surrey and Langley
- Metro Vancouver - southwest including Richmond and Delta
Environment Canada is also calling for wind southeast blowing 20 km/h except gusting to 50 near the Strait of Georgia Monday morning.
Metro Vancouver weather forecast
Heading into the rest of the week, there are a few more chances for snow in the forecast. However, many of the opportunities call for rain or snow.
Daily highs are expected to range between 3°C and 5°C while lows are expected to dip down overnight between freezing and 2°C.
