The forecast for the next few days across the Island looks pretty uneventful, minus a little bit of snow central and west Thursday into Friday. Beyond that the weather is calm through the weekend, with the chance of some snow in east later Sunday into MOnday depending on the track of a low pressure centre (see below).

Labrador will continue to see snow, and in some areas, there will be a significant amount, but mostly that is inland over higher terrain. However, some areas of the west will see up to 15 cm by Thursday evening. The map below shows that well… but it’s also over-estimating snowfall on the coast. As right on the coast, it’s been rain and snow, or just rain, for the last couple of days, and I don’t foresee that changing as temperatures hover just above 0°C.

Carrots were harvested TODAY in Spillar’s Cove by Kim Fleming Adams’ father. She said that he’s never seen carrots harvested this time of year.. and he’s 73!

There is the potential for some snow over eastern Newfoundland early next week, depending on which model you look at. The images below are from two different models that are handling a surface low’s position very differently. The GFS has a farther northwest track and brings snow into eastern Newfoundland beginning late Sunday. The ECMWF model has that same low much farther offshore, and keeps the snow with it.

Stay tuned for updates on this one!

The clouds, sun, fog, and showers are creating the perfect conditions for rainbows and fogbows. I’ve seen several pictures of them today!

A fogbow is like a rainbow, but it appears in fog instead of rain. It forms when sunlight shines through tiny water droplets in the fog, but because the droplets are so small, the colors are faint or mostly white. This gives the fogbow a soft, ghostly appearance.
