As always, the wind dictates the daytime highs across the province on Thursday, bringing a wide range of three to 24 degrees.
The south west wind that brought the eastern side of Newfoundland back into seasonal temperatures will stick around another day, leaving the Avalon and Central regions aiming to crack the 20 degree mark, however, it comes in at a quicker pace which should be noticeable.
Meanwhile, the wind shifts west for the West Coast, dropping the temperature into the low to mid-teens by late afternoon, while the wind swirls back from the north for the Northern Peninsula, dropping things to sub-five degrees.

There could be some wet snow at the tip of the Great Northern Peninsula near the midnight hour as the temperature drops close to zero. That rain also picks up as light rain on the West Coast, Baie Verte Peninsula and through Central late Thursday evening.
