Summary

The weather on the Island over the next 24 hours looks quite nice, with no major systems moving through. We will see a chance of rain Wednesday and then a messier system Thursday and Friday that looks to bring a combination of snow and ice to much of the Island south of the Northern Peninsula. The snow and ice from this low may linger into late Saturday.

The late-week storm has the potential to be highly disruptive to everyday life. There is a high likelihood of significant snow and ice amounts for much of the Island. It is still too early to pinpoint which areas will see what and how much of each we will see. Be sure to stay up to date on the latest forecasts, because that will start to get more clear.

Labrador will see today that will total as much as 10 cm in the west and as little as 3 cm from Cartwright northward along the coast. Areas from Cartwright to the Straits will see very little snowfall in the next 12-18 hours.
