The sunset in Corner Brook was lovely! Speaking of sunsets, they are already getting later as we approach the winter solstice. Sadly, until we move past December 21, the sunrises will also get later. However once past the 21st, the shortest day of the year, the days will start to get longer!

A little snow is on the way to the Big Land between late tonight and late Tuesday night. Generally a swath of 5 to 10 cm can be expected. There will be lower amount in the southeast, where snow will mix rain on Tuesday.

Snowfall forecast between late today and early Wednesday (December 18, 2024)

Meanwhile… the Island will see some rain Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday morning. The rain will arrive on the southeast coast Tuesday afternoon and spread north and east Tuesday night. The rain moves offshore of the Acalon early Wednesday morning setting us up for a decent day.

The next weather-maker arrives Thursday and will be decidedly more potent…


POST 2 | 9:40 AM NST (8:50 AM AST)

Here are the temperatures and some webcam images from across the Province as of 9:40 AM NST (8:50 AM AST)



Post 1: 6:18 AM NST (5:48 AM AST)

The weather across the Province is pretty quiet this morning as an area of high pressure is dominiating the weather across the region. High pressure happens when air sinks toward the ground, creating clear skies and calm weather because the sinking air prevents clouds from forming. Think of it like a big, heavy blanket of air that pushes bad weather away. Typically these highs can bring cold temperatures… in our case it’s chilly to start to the day but overly cold. In fact, in Labrador temperatures are already above the normal highs for the day.

Today will see almost cloudless skies over the Island, while some high, thin clouds move into Labradodr around the back side of the high. The flow around highs is clockwise so these clouds will be moving in from Quebec and Ontario. Temperatures will be above normal for most of Labrador and closer to normal on the Island.
