April showers bring May flowers. The Metro Vancouver weather forecast includes temperatures soaring several degrees above the seasonal average before a storm rolls through at the end of the weekend. Environment Canada meteorologist Colin Fong tells V.I.A. that temperatures may climb to 18 C on the water and as high as 24 C inland on Friday, April 25 as a ridge of high pressure continues to keep conditions warm and dry in the Lower Mainland. The ridge will start to break down heading into the weekend, but temperatures are expected to remain a few degrees above the seasonal average, with highs of 15 C on Saturday and Sunday at Vancouver International Airport (YVR). Fong says April has experienced temperatures close to seasonal for the majority of the month, with a monthly average high of 13.7 C recorded. The seasonal average is a high of 13 C. Temperatures haven't dropped that cool this month, either. Fong says the coolest daytime high at YVR this April was 11.7 C. Friday and Saturday's forecasts include bluebird skies, but some clouds are expected to start rolling in on Sunday. "The ridge of high pressure will move away, and a low-pressure system will come in on Monday with some cooler temperatures," he notes. "However, it doesn't look like we will see any significant precipitation on Monday." Fong says the timing of Monday's precipitation event is "uncertain," and the Canadian, U.S., and European weather models aren't showing congruence. The department looks at all three to determine forecast certainty. Metro Vancouver 7-day weather forecast The meteorologist doesn't expect a rainfall warning will be issued, but some intermittent rain is likely. "As far as amounts are concerned, none of them are approaching warning levels. It should be a little bit wet and you may need to break out your umbrella," he says. Monday's forecast also includes a drop in temperatures, with the daytime high falling to 13 C. The low-pressure system will start to move out of the region on Tuesday, although a chance of showers will remain. "It looks like a return to dry weather after that," he notes, adding that the temperature will climb on Wednesday and Thursday in the seven-day forecast. "But those warm temperatures don't look like they will stick around for a long time," he explains. However, the remainder of the month is expected to be warmer-than-normal. "For the month of May, the models have been fairly consistent in showing above-normal temperatures for all of B.C," he says.
