Snow in Metro Vancouver expected Saturday

Snowfall is expected over Metro Vancouver’s higher terrain Saturday according to Environment Canada’s special weather statement.
It says up to five centimetres could fall on higher elevations starting from Saturday morning to afternoon.
The weather office says despite the cold front moving into B.C.’s south coast on Saturday, the snow may be shortlived as it’s expected to taper off by the evening.

CityNews Meteorologist Michael Kuss says a cooler weather pattern is set to hit the region.
“It does look like a rain event Saturday morning with a caveat that some higher elevation neighborhoods could see some mixed precipitation.”
A cold front is also coming in on Monday but Kuss says widespread snow isn’t expected.
“There has been a little bit of a buzz about possible snow coming in on Monday, but the system coming through is so weak if we do get snow it would be incredibly light — a trace possible, or even if just showers, we’re only looking at a couple of millimeters.”
