The area of low pressure that has driven all the wet weather across much of Newfoundland and Labrador since Sunday is slowly beginning to drift into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. That will continue on Friday. This will lead to slight improvements in the weather across much of the Province for Friday. The improvements will be much more noticeable this weekend when many of us will see the sunshine for the first time in a long time. Along with that will come a change in the direction of the wind and a warming trend in temperatures.
