You probably don’t have your own ark, but it might be a good idea to build one because there are buckets of rain coming to Burnaby.
Starting on Friday (Feb. 4), Environment Canada calls for periods of drizzle during the day and a 30 per cent chance of showers at night. Following this, Saturday is expected to see a mix and cloud while Sunday is expected to be sunny with a high of 7°C on both days. The rain is expected to return Sunday night, however.
The wet trend is forecasted to continue into Monday with a brief respite Monday night. Tuesday's forecast also includes a chance of precipitation, while Wednesday's forecast includes the chance of some during the day.
Environment Canada meteorologist Doug Lundquist told Glacier Media in a previous interview that Metro Vancouver typically only sees one period of truly cold winter and that there are usually only one to three arctic air events per year. Moving forward, the region could have another cold-weather event in February or March; he doesn't see any extreme cold moving into the region in the 10-day forecast.
But arctic air that moves into the Lower Mainland in February or March won't be as cold as the temperatures the region saw in December, he emphasized. "That is impossible."
