Mixed weather for Thanksgiving long weekend in Metro Vancouver

It looks like sunshine on Friday and Saturday and then rainy weather for Sunday and Monday.

It looks like the Thanksgiving long weekend will start out sunny in Metro Vancouver and then turn rainy.

The forecast is for clear skies with temperature highs of 15 C on Friday and Saturday, according to Environment and Climate Change Canada.

Then, the sunshine is expected to turn to rain on Sunday, with highs of 17 C, followed by a good chance of showers on Monday, highs of 16 C.

Meantime, skiers and snowboarders hoping for a better season than last year will no doubt be cheered by Whistler Blackcomb’s news on the weekend.

Dane Gergovich, a spokesperson for Vail Resorts, which owns Whistler Blackcomb, said the ski resort received nearly 14 centimetres of snow over the weekend.

La Niña typically leads to cool, rainy weather in the Pacific Northwest, but it is highly variable and its tendency to increase snowfall at higher elevations doesn’t usually kick in until around Christmas, said meteorologist Armel Castellan.
