Metro Vancouver Weather Forecast

Bobby Sekhon, a meteorologist for Environment Canada, told Vancouver Is Awesome in a previous interview that the region is trending toward generally warmer weather as the season progresses. In other words, the extreme cold Vancouverites experienced last month isn't likely to return.
"The seasonal model is indicating that there is a chance for near-normal temperatures in Metro Vancouver this year," he says. However, he adds that this year's spring forecast isn't looking very "conclusive."
What does this mean?
"April and May seem to be the most uncertain. The second half of March could see below-average temperatures, but I don't think we're going to be looking at any deep cold air."
Sekhon says there won't likely be any deep cold air this month, but it could get a bit cooler. However, the spring season isn't looking significantly colder overall.
