Metro Vancouver weather: Rainstorm before long streak of sunny days

Keep your shades and umbrella handy.

Metro Vancouverites should brace for some wet weather this weekend. 

V.I.A.'s Downtown Centre Weatherhood station shows a high of 23 C and a low of 13 C on Friday, May 30, with a mix and cloud (see slide two).

Environment Canada meteorologist Bobby Sekhon told V.I.A. in a previous interview that a ridge of high pressure would bring warmer temperatures to the region on Friday, but it would break down overnight. A cooler trough is expected to replace it, bringing temperatures down several degrees on Saturday. 

The downtown area is expected to see a high 16 C and a low of 12 C with rainfall amounts totalling around 9 mm. Langley is expected to see the same daytime high and rainfall accumulation.

Other areas are expected to see slightly warmer weather with less rain, such as Burnaby West with a 19 C high and 7 mm of precipitation, and Coquitlam Centre with a high of 17 C and 8 mm of precipitation. 

Deep Cove is expected to see a high of 17 C and 11 mm of precipitation, Surrey City Centre will see the same daytime high but only 7 mm of precipiation. 

Metro Vancouver weather forecast

After a wet Saturday, Sunday's forecast includes mainly dry conditions with a 30 per cent chance of showers and highs around the seasonal average (18 C). 

Starting Monday, a drier pattern is expected to emerge in the region, with several days featuring a mix of sun and cloud to continue through Thursday. Daytime highs should range around the seasonal average, but may climb closer to or above the 20 C mark.  

Environment Canada is calling for above-average temperatures this summer, although the seasonal forecast doesn't include specific weather events, such as heat domes or storms.
