The Basics (TL;DR)

• Highs will be 2° to 4° on Sunday. Labrador will see highs near 0° Saturday and a tad cooler on Sunday, particularly in the west.
• Monday and Tuesday generally look quiet, with no major weather.
• A potent low will arrive in the region on Wednesday. This can bring significant snow and rain to NL for the second half of the week. Forecasts are still very uncertain at this point.

There is currently a tremendous amount of uncertainty in the forecast for the middle and end of next week. At this point, it is still impossible to determine snowfall amounts and where the highest mounts will fall. I will update you throughout the weekend and next week as the system’s arrival gets closer. In the meantime, be cautious of any numbers you hear if that hasn’t come from a meteorologist.
