The cutoff low-pressure centre that has kept the weather very unsettled across the Island for most of this week finally drifts into the North Atlantic, away from the Province tonight. In its wake, we will see one more round of rain and wet snow tonight before the weather improves markedly for Thursday. What I mean by that is there will be no areas of significant precipitation. That being said, there will be some light snow in parts of Labrador West Thursday and Friday. Snowfall amounts should only total a few centimeters.
Looking ahead to the rest of the week and the weekend, the weather across NL looks to remain quiet. The next chance of significant weather is early next week, and with that will come the chance for more rain and snow across much of the province.
