The seven-day Metro Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»weather forecast includes several opportunities for flurries as a cold front moves into the region.
Starting on Friday, March 1, an unsettled atmosphere could produce some isolated thunderstorms across the region, and there was a chance for flurries in the morning.
Environment Canada says there is a 30 percent chance of showers Friday evening but flurries are also possible over higher terrain overnight. Strong southeast winds may also blow up to 20 km/h.
V.I.A.'s Downtown Centre Weatherhood station in Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»shows a high of 6 C with temperatures falling to 3 C overnight. But other areas, such as Port Coquitlam, could see temperatures fall near the freezing mark.
Temperatures are expected to fall a couple of degrees over the weekend, producing near-freezing temperatures even in places close to the water. There is a significant chance (ranging from 64 to 85 per cent) that most neighbourhoods across the region will see precipitation on Saturday and Sunday. Paired with falling temperatures, these areas may experience flurries or mixed precipitation.
Metro Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»weather forecast includes subzero temperatures
The cooling pattern is expected to continue out of the weekend, with temperatures expected to dip down to subzero temperatures across the Lower Mainland.
Neighbourhoods like Downtown Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»and Richmond City Centre are expected to see temperatures fall to zero or as low as -1, while other areas, such as Port Coquitlam, could reach a bone-chilling -4.
While precipitation could fall as flurries during the cold periods, daytime temperatures may climb into the double digits, meaning that any mixed precipitation wouldn't stick.
March 1 marks the start of meteorological spring, despite the chilly weather.
Environment Canada is calling for a warmer-than-average spring and there's a great deal of confidence behind that prediction, with models indicating an 80 to 90 per cent likelihood that temperatures will average on the milder side.
