The Metro Vancouver weather forecast has snow and bitter cold in November 2022.

Temperatures are expected to take a dramatic plunge in Metro Vancouver next week, providing multiple opportunities for snowfall at sea level. 

After experiencing one of the earliest snowfalls on record, there were several crisp, sunny days in the city this November and even a few decidedly foggy ones

While the weather has been slightly warmer recently, temperatures are expected to plunge starting this weekend.  

Before that, Environment Canada calls for rain and a couple of daytime highs just below 10 C on Friday and Saturday. On Sunday, temperatures are only expected to drop a couple of degrees during the day to a high of 7 C. Overnight, however, the forecast include a low of -1 C with a 60 per cent chance of rain showers or flurries. 

Temperatures are expected to drop down even overnight Monday, ushering in an opportunity for snow or rain Tuesday during the day. Tuesday night's forecast includes snowfall and a low of -1 C while Wednesday's forecast includes snow or rain or during the day.

Wednesday is expected to have a particularly frigid overnight low of -5 C.

In a recent update, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) called for a 75 per cent chance that La Niña will be present this winter and won't change to a "neutral" weather pattern until about February.

Typically, La Niña's impact on southern B.C. doesn't start to show until the late fall or early winter. But it does tend to produce cooler than normal conditions and snowier conditions over the mountains. 

Environment Canada will release its official winter forecast on Dec. 1.
