While The Weather Network predicted that it was highly unlikely, Environment Canada's latest forecast shows Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­could see flurries the night before Christmas.

Beginning on Thursday, Dec. 19, the Metro Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­weather forecast calls for a 60 per cent chance of showers with rainfall in the evening. Southeast wind of 30 km/h is expected in the morning except 50 km/h near the water late in the afternoon. While 5 to 10 mm of rainfall are expected during the day, the forecast calls for amounts of 15 to 25 mm at night.

Friday and Saturday's forecasts also call for showers, with daily highs of 8°C and 7°C respectively. Daily lows are expected to dip to 5°C and 6°C.  Sunday is expected to see a mix of sun and cloud during the day while the evening is expected to see a 60 per cent chance of showers. 

Monday's forecast calls for showers during the day, however, the evening low is expected to dip down to 1°C. As such, the forecast is calling for a 60 per cent chance of rain showers or flurries. Similarly, Christmas Eve day calls for showers, but the evening also calls for a chance of rain showers or flurries.

Metro Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­Weather Forecast 

While Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­offers a smorgasbord of holiday events, the city isn't likely to see snow on Christmas Day.

According to The Weather Network, the south coast of B.C. has the lowest chance of seeing a white Christmas across Canada. With that in mind, their forecast notes that there will be an abundance of snow on the mountain next week, which will be a boon for local ski resorts. However, the latest forecast from Environment Canada shows that Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­just might get its snowy Christmas, after all.
