The weather might be nice across Newfoundland today, but that will change tonight and Saturday as an area of low pressure currently over northern Quebec will push across the Island portion of the province and bring snow, rain, and strong winds.
There is a special weather statement in effect for:
Avalon Peninsula North
Avalon Peninsula Southeast
Avalon Peninsula Southwest
Bay of Exploits
Bonavista North
Bonavista Peninsula
Buchans and the interior
Clarenville and vicinity
Deer Lake - Humber Valley
Gander and vicinity
Grand Falls-Windsor and vicinity
Green Bay - White Bay
Gros Morne
St. John's and vicinity
Terra Nova
For the Avalon, the potential exists for the first accumulating snowfall of the season, especially inland and over higher terrain. However, coastal areas may receive only rain.
Parts of northeastern and eastern Newfoundland could see the first accumulating snowfall of the season, especially inland and over higher terrain. However, parts of the coast may receive only rain.
For Green Bay - White Bay, Buchans and the Interior, Deer Lake and vicinity, and Gros Morne, precipitation may fall mainly as rain along parts of the coast. There exists considerable uncertainty with regards to the timing and accumulations associated with this system. Any change in the storm's track would significantly affect where and when the heaviest snow will fall.
