This morning we are waking up to more showers and clouds across a good chunk of the Island, specifically in central and eastern areas. There are even some foggy patches. Farther west we are looking at some breaks of clear sky.

Temperatures are into the mid-teens and wind speeds are light on the Island. Labrador is seeing readings in the lower teens and even some single digits to begin the day.

Today will see clouds decrease across the Island from west to east. In the west, the skies will turn sunny this morning, in Central that will be this afternoon, and in the east, it may not be until this evening.

Temperatures this afternoon will creep into the mid-teens to lower 20s for most areas of the Province. There will be some pop-up showers in Labrador West later today. Most of which should be minor.

A peek at the extended

The rest of this week looks pretty good. Expect sunshine Thursday and Friday, with highs in the upper teens to lower 20s across the Province. The next chance of rain comes on Friday night and Saturday for Labrador West and the Island portion of the Province. I’ll further updates on this.

Have a great day!

Tonight’s Outlook

A weakening area of low pressure will swirl across the Island overnight. This will keep on-and-off showers on the go for areas of western, central, and eastern Newfoundland while the South Coast remains primarily dry. Lows in the lower to middle teens. Some coastal locations will see fog patches overnight. Wind speeds will be light.

Expect a few showers in Labrador in the southeast and the west overnight. Otherwise, it’s dry and partly to mostly cloudy. Lows near 10°.

Wednesday’s Outlook

A few showers will be found over eastern and central areas in the morning. The showers will end by early afternoon and skies will gradually turn partly to mostly cloudy. Areas of western Newfoundland, the GNP, and the South Coast will generally see sunshine. Highs range from the mid to upper teens east and central, to lower teens on the GNP, and near 20 for the West Coast and South Coast.

Labrador can expect mostly sunny skies, with highs in the teens to near 20. The cooler readings will be found on the north coast, while the mid to upper teens and near 20 will be found farther south and west.

Extended Outlook

Thursday looks quiet and sunny across the Province, with highs in the mid-teens in eastern Newfoundland to near 20, or higher, just about everywhere else in NL.

Friday will see be mostly sunny with highs in the upper teens to lower 20s.

Saturday will see periods of rain across much of the Province as an area of low-pressure swings through the region. Highs will be near 20°. Sunday will be a tad warmer, with highs in the lower to middle 20s. Showers may still be around.

We are off to a bit of a foggy start this morning over parts of eastern and northeastern Newfoundland and cannot say that’s a surprise. The visibility at St. John’s airport this morning is being reported at 200 meters. This may have an impact on air travel from St. John’s Airport, so if you’re flying, be sure to check with your carrier.

We are also seeing some rain showers across much of the Island to begin the day. The rain showers are numerous over both the eastern and western sections of the Island this morning. Some rain shower cells are quite heavy. The area between the Goulds, Petty Harbour, and Bay Bulls has been in and out of the heavy rain for the last hour or so. The showers are moving from west to east and should end up offshore in the next hour or less.

Areas of showers and/or light rain will continue to affect much of western, central, and eastern Newfoundland throughout the day. Fog will be an issue as well near east-facing shores thanks to onshore easterlies. The fog should get a little less dense for areas that see it, mainly the eastern parts of the Avalon, this evening as the wind turns from east to southeast. Skies remain cloudy today and highs peak in the mid to upper teens. Some spotty 20º readings may be found along the South Coast this afternoon.

And speaking of the South Coast, that’s the area that may see some sunny breaks on the Island today. And is probably the only area that will see that.

Labrador will see a decent day, with highs in the teens to near 20. There will be some showers in the West later today, but overall the best weather today will be found in the Big Land.

The weather will improve… at least somewhat, for Wednesday. And I’ll have a more detailed update on that later today.

Have a good one!

Sunday will be a beautiful day across much of Newfoundland and Labrador. Expect partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies with highs into the upper teens to lower 20s. Humidex values will be in to the middle/upper 20s for some.

Very few storms came through overnight… disappointedly for some. Like me.

The radar shows we had rounds of heavy rain work across the Island over the last 12+ hours. However, the thunderstorms I thought would be found in the rain never transpired. Or if they did, they were much less widespread than it looked like they would be just yesterday.

For the rest of today, the weather will generally improve on the Island, with sun and cloud becoming prevalent for most. The exception will be the West Coast and GNP, where showers and clouds will hang around through much of the day. Scattered showers will also be found this afternoon over central and eastern areas, with the chance of some isolated thunderstorms. Highs reach the upper teens to lower 20s.

Southeast Labrador will see rain become widespread today and that will ease off tonight. Otherwise expect partly to mostly cloudy skies across the Big Land, with highs in the mid to upper teens.

Sunday will be a decent day across the Province, with highs in the upper teens and lower 20s for most.

Have a great Saturday!

A slow-moving, sloth-like, area of low pressure is really making its presence known across parts of the Province this morning. Virtually all of Newfoundland and parts of western Labrador are waking up to either rain, showers, or drizzle. It’s also a bit windy, which makes being outside in any of this more unpleasant than it has to be. The radar loop from the last 6 hours, ending just before 7 AM this morning, shows us where the rain is. The brighter the color, the heavier the rain.

The area of low pressure will trudge across the Island today and the rain, showers and drizzle will continue across the Island because of it. The rain will generally become less widespread and more showery as the afternoon and evening progress. Except on the Baie Verte and Northern Peninsulas, where some heavier rain will arrive this evening. Also, southern Labrador will see the rain and showers increase later today as well, as the area of low pressure begins to make its way off the Island.

Along with the rain, we can see temperatures will also be on the cooler side today, with highs across the board in the teens. Today will certainly have a fall-like feel to it, even though we’re in the early stages of August.

There are some signs of warmer weather on the horizon, but we will have to wait until the weekend to see that. Speaking of the weekend, the next area of low pressure will swirl in Friday evening, and this will bring more rain, and wind, to the Province. Ferry crossings between NS and NL may be impacted, yet again.

I’ll have your next update later today.

Have a good one!

The Overview

An area of low pressure will meander through the Gulf of St. Lawernece over the next 24 hours, before finally crossing over the Island late Thursday into early Friday. The presence of this low is driving rain across much of the region this afternoon, and the rain will only increase in coverage overnight and Thursday.

The rain will become moderate to heavy at times over much of the Island tonight, and that will linger through the day on Thursday. There is a slight risk of some embedded thunderstorms, but I don’t anticipate them to be widespread at this time. The rain will taper to showers Thursday afternoon from south to north. The showers will not fully end until early Friday morning.

The showers will increase in southern Labrador late tonight and that will turn into heavier rain Thursday afternoon. The rain in southern areas of the BIig Land will linger into late Friday.

Rainfall amounts by early Friday morning will be in the 15-30 mm range for a large part of the Island, with lower amounts in Labrador. The rainfall projection below highlights that well.

Lows tonight will generally be in the lower to mid-teens on the Island and lower teens to near 10° in Labrador. Thursday will see temperatures similar to the last couple of days, with highs in the mid-teens to near 20 across N.L. There will not be a lot of sunshine during the next 24 hours.

Wind speeds in the Wreckhouse area will continue to be a problem through early Thursday. A Wreckhouse Wind Warning remains in effect until that point, and gusts will be from the southeast as high as 110 km/h.

The Extended

Friday will start on the calm side but will feature scattered showers across much of the Island and parts of Labrador. Skies will be partly to mostly cloudy across the Province. Highs will be mid-teens through the Big Land to lower 20s over much of the Island.

Another area of low pressure will roll through Friday night into Saturday. This looks to bring another bout of heavy rain to the West Coast, and parts of southern Labrador in that time frame. Areas north and east of the low, look to largely miss out on the heaviest rain. This next low may impact ferry crossings to Nova Scotia during that time frame.

Sunday will see a nice recovery across much of the region, with sun and cloud and highs back to the 20s for much of the Island and near 20 for parts of Labrador.
