The rain is expected to turn into showers Sunday, which are expected to continue through the night, too. Starting Monday, the forecast calls for a 60 per cent chance of showers during the day and cloudy periods at night.
Both Wednesday's and Thursday's forecasts are calling for the chance of rainfall, too.

While Vancouverites have enjoyed a relatively mild winter so far, Environment Canada cautions that we aren't out of the woods yet.
In a recent interview, Environment Canada Meteorologist Doug Lundquist told Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» that "It's halfway through winter--so we have another half to go through.
"And we can get snow--definitely in the latter part of January, February and sometimes March."
Lundquist stresses that snow events are far less likely heading into spring, but they can't be ruled out entirely. That said, he notes that the La Niña pattern is still affecting weather in the region, which could mean temperatures will dip a bit below average.
