According to Environment Canada, clouds aren't expected to roll in until the evening, when temperatures could dip as low as 6 C.

Cloud coverage is expected to increase throughout Tuesday and Wednesday, as high temperatures are forecast to reach 15. Then by Wednesday evening, rain is predicted to enter the forecast and stick around for the rest of the week.

Thursday is set to be the coolest day of the week with highs only reaching 13. 

The weekend is expected to have a 60 per cent chance of showers. 

As of Monday morning, there were no weather alerts in place for the province. Over the past weekend, special weather statements were scattered across the province as some mountain passes including the Coquihalla saw several centimetres of snow accumulate.

Even if snow stays out of the forecast, winter tire regulations will be enforced starting Tuesday.
