Eddie's Morning Forecast | May 11, 2023
Good Wednesday morning! The weather across the Province today will be pretty nice in the wake of our departing low. The low, which brought rain and snow to much of NL between later Monday and Wednesday, and even for coastal Labrador this morning, is still moving away from the Island.
The counterclockwise swirl you see there is a low pressure departing. In its wake, we will see nicer weather across the Province today, with highs near 10 for most. The exception will be for coastal areas of Labrador, where snow this morning will end and temps will hover near 1 this afternoon. And for portions of the Island in onshore, westerly flow, where highs will be nearer to 3 or 4 today.
Have a great day and you’re updated forecast will be ready this afternoon on NTV.ca and the news this evening!

Friday Evening’s Forecast | Rain & Snow on the way to the Province
Forecast Discussion
A weak area of low pressure will develop over the Lower North Shore of Quebec and swing into Labrador this weekend. This low will drive rain, and even wet snow, across the Province between tonight and late Sunday. Once into next week, we will be in a relatively unsettled weather pattern, but the systems look to be transient, meaning they will move through the region quickly. And once past this weekend, there doesn’t look to be much in the way of significant precipitation events as I look into next week.
Rain will arrive on the Island Saturday afternoon on the West and Southwest Coast and Saturday night just about everywhere else. Rain will end Sunday morning, from west to east, but showers will linger into the afternoon. Parts of Central and northeast coast may also see a period of rain Sunday afternoon. Rainfall amounts look to be light to moderate, but some areas will pick up 20-30 mm of much-needed rainfall in that time frame.
Rain and wet snow will also fall in Labrador between Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. Some higher elevations of interior Labrador, and even on the coast, will pick up 15-30 cm of wet snowfall. Lower elevations will likely see some mix of rain and snow, as temperatures will borderline from Saturday afternoon into Sunday.
