Yesterday, the 麻豆传媒映画weather forecast called for a chance of snow or rain on Friday, Dec. 7.
Now, a聽special weather statement has been issued for Metro 麻豆传媒映画and the North Shore that calls for chance of wet snow and risk of freezing rain on Friday night and early Saturday.
According to Environment Canada, the ridge of high pressure that,"gave the south coast a cool, sunny stretch of weather this week is starting to retreat. A weak Pacific weather system will reach the south coast tonight."
As such, cloud cover and winds are expected to increase during the afternoon and keep temperatures above zero degrees.
In advance of this system, cloud cover and winds will increase during Friday afternoon and keep surface temperatures above zero degrees overnight.
With a layer of relatively warmer air above the surface, a scenario of rain mixed with some wet snow is the likely outcome for most of Metro Vancouver. As a result, the forecast calls for little to no snowfall accumulation.
Over inland sections of Metro 麻豆传媒映画and the Fraser Valley that are sheltered from outflow winds, temperatures could drop below zero tonight resulting in pockets of freezing rain.
