Winter91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™s grip on southern British Columbia may hang on as a few flurries remain in the forecast for parts of Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.

Meteorologist Derek Lee with Environment Canada says anotherlow-pressure system could bring flurries for Saturday and Sunday, but it won91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™t be widespread, and will likely fall in Eastern Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.

While it91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™s not unusual to see snowfall in February for southern B.C., Lee says seeing it stick around is more uncommon, and there91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™s no signal for warming in the upcoming week.

Lee said below-zero temperatures will stick around for the Lower Mainland and it could even get colder, especially overnight, dropping to as low as -8 C, but it will be sunny during the day.

Arctic outflow warnings remain in place for a few areas of the province, including the Whistler Valley and Inland regions of the North Coast, where wind-chill values could reach -20 C.

An extreme cold warning is in place for Yoho and Kootenay national parks, where the arctic airmass combined with winds are giving wind-chill values near -35 C.
