Our next area of low pressure slowly swirls in from the southwest today, and this will help push clouds, showers, rain, and even some wind into the region as the day progresses. Morning radar shows showers and areas of rain are already approaching the southwest coast, which is a few hours ahead of schedule.

The rain will continue to spread across the region today, including in Labrador West. The timing of this is depicted quite well in the Future Radar product in the video below. This should help give you an idea of when the rain will arrive in your area.

There is also a Wreckhouse Wind Warning, which goes into effect this afternoon and will expire Thursday morning. Wind speeds in that time, in the area, will gust as high as 110 km/h. Make sure any loose items are secured and drivers going through the area, be sure to heed the signs!

Ferry crossings are going to be impacted today and tomorrow, and the morning crossings from Marine Atlantic have already been canceled due to high wind and waves. Be sure to check with them if you have plans in the next few days. Friday into Saturday may have some impacts as well.

Temperatures today peak in the mid to upper teens for much of the Province. I’ll have a further update for you this afternoon.

Have a great day!

Tuesday morning has started off on the cloudy, and even drizzly side, for many areas of the Province. The webcam images below from across Newfoundland and Labrador illustrate the point rather well.

As we move throughout the morning and into the afternoon, the general trend in the cloud cover should be a decreasing one. In fact, over the next several hours skies should turn partly cloudy to even mostly sunny across the bulk of the Province. That will happen first in western Labrador and southern Newfoundland and a bit later everywhere else. The loop of future cloud cover shows this rather well.

Temperatures this afternoon will be very similar to yesterday, where much of the Province peaks in the mid-teens to lower 20s. The warmest readings will be found in southwestern Newfoundland and interior and western parts of Labrador. While the coolest readings will be found along the coast of Labrador and near and along the north-facing shores of the Island.

Beyond today, we see an area of low pressure arrive between Wednesday and Thursday. Initially, this will spread rain into Labrador West tomorrow, along with southern areas of the Island. But more of the rain moves in Wednesday night and sticks around through Thursday.

And you can bet with the increased rain chances, will come more cloud cover and not a big change in our temperatures. There are signs of a return to the warmth, but it is looking like that will take a few days. As of now it looks like later this week or by the weekend the 20s are back in play.

Have a great day and I’ll have your next update this afternoon!

Tonight’s Overview

The showers will continue across parts of eastern and central Newfoundland into the overnight while becoming much less numerous on the West and South Coasts. Skies will clear out over the southwest corner of the Island, while most other areas remain in the onshore, northerly flow which tends to bring in an abundance of low cloud. Lows of 9 to 12. The gusty winds from Notre Dame Bay to the East Coast of the Avlaon will remain up overnight, before slowly subsiding during the day on Tuesday.

Labrador will see partly cloudy skies, with lows in the 8 to 12 range. Pretty boring… I know!

Tuesday’s Overview

Generally a quiet day across the Province, with a mix of sun and cloud. Some showers will crop up over interior Labrador and drift toward Churchill Falls. That’s about it for precipitation. Highs of 16 to 22 across the region.

Wednesday will see a dry start, but showers move into Labrador West in the afternoon, along with southwestern and western Newfoundland. Highs will again be into the mid-teens to lower 20s for highs. Thursday looks like a rainy day across the board, as an area of low pressure swings in. The rain will taper for most areas by Friday morning. The rain will be significant for some locations.
