Vancouverites hoping to stay dry over the next week might have to stay indoors.

Environment Canada meteorologist Lisa Erven told V.I.A. in a previous interview that the long-term winter forecast includes a 60 per cent chance for a La Niña year. 

La Niña years often include low-elevation snowfall and below-average temperatures, although this isn't always the case. 

Erven said the department calls for a "weak" La Niña year, meaning its impacts should only carry through January through March. Years with a stronger signal can last significantly longer. 

While other parts of the province are expected to see below-average temperatures in December, the signal for the Lower Mainland isn't clear. However, La Niña's effects don't show until after the winter holidays.
