The Metro Vancouver weather forecast includes a mix of everything from beaming sunshine to cloudy skies to periods of rain and even a possibility of snowfall over the next few days. 

Vancouverites looking to whip up a frosty friend this weekend probably won't have any luck -- but they may have an opportunity at the start of next week. 

The Metro Vancouver weather forecast includes a mix of everything from beaming sunshine to cloudy skies to periods of rain and even a possibility of snowfall over the next few days. 

Starting on Friday, Dec. 9, however, Environment Canada calls for a 60 per cent chance of showers during the day and rain at night. More rain is expected Saturday, with a daytime high of 5 C and an overnight low of 3 C. 

While Sunday looks sunny and bright with a daytime high of 7 C, temperatures are expected to drop overnight, dropping to -1 C. 

Monday's forecast includes sunshine and a high of 3 C during the day, but there is a chance of flurries overnight as temperatures dip down again below freezing. 

Tuesday is also expected to see some precipitation during the day but will likely be rain rather than snow. After that, the rest of the forecast for the week looks dry but quite chilly, with overnight lows of -2 C expected on Wednesday and Thursday.

The Weather Network and Environment Canada call for below-average temperatures to kick off the winter season in Metro Vancouver following the snowiest November in over a decade. 

Prior to the start of meteorological winter, there were a variety of temperatures throughout the fall, and taking an average temperature for the 90 days doesn't tell the complete story.

Instead, a closer look at the fall season in Vancouver shows that it was "volatile" and a "season of extremes," according to a new report.
