While Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­has enjoyed some milder temperatures over the past few days, the weekend forecast calls for some chilly evening lows. 

Right now, The Weather Network is even calling for a chance of snow on Sunday as well as on Tuesday. However, Environment Canada hasn't included snow in its weekly forecast.

Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­ spoke to Bobby Sekhon, an Environment Canada meteorologist, who explained why the department hasn't included snowfall in its forecast.

"Right now we are actually seeing above average temperatures," he explained. "Typical lows are around one degree, and we've been seeing nightly lows of six or seven."

Sekhon notes, however, that there is will be a cooling trend moving into the weekend. While a northwesterly flow will bring cold air down into the Lower Mainland, he cautions that it is difficult to predict whether there will be snowfall.

"It won't be as cold as it was earlier in January when we saw true arctic air. Right now, we aren't committing to snow."

Sekhon added that the cooling trend does increase the chance for snowfall, but it difficult to say this far out exactly what will happen. Nevertheless, he says that it is a possibility.
