While it may have seemed like a longshot, the Vancouver weather forecast is calling for a chance of snow on Christmas Day. 

Environment Canada calls for rain on Friday, Dec. 20 with a high of 8°C and a low 4°C. Following this, Saturday is expected to see a chance of showers while Sunday is expected to be cloudy. Monday's forecast calls for a mix of sun and cloud. 

On Tuesday, the forecast calls for a chance of rain during the day and a chance of flurries overnight. What's more, on Wednesday, Christmas Day, the forecast calls for a 60 per cent chance of flurries all day long. 

Boxing day is expected to see showers.

While Vancouver offers a smorgasbord of holiday events, the city doesn't typically see snow on Christmas Day.

According to The Weather Network, the south coast of B.C. has the lowest chance of seeing a white Christmas across Canada. With that in mind, their forecast notes that there will be an abundance of snow on the mountain next week, which will be a boon for local ski resorts. However, the latest forecast from Environment Canada shows that Vancouver just might get its snowy Christmas, after all.
