The Short-Term Forecast

Friday will see cloudy skies over eastern Newfoundland with areas of fog, flurries and freezing drizzle. Mostly cloudy skies will be found in central Newfoundland, and sunny skies in the west, south, and northwest. Highs will be near the freezing mark for most areas. Labrador will see flurries and pockets of light snow in the west and north, with partly cloudy skies in the south. Highs will be with a couple of ticks of freezing.

The Weekend Forecast

Other than flurries and some pockets of light snow in western and northern Labrador, the weather is going to be fairly tranquil across the Province this weekend. On top of that, high temperatures will be near or above freezing province-wide as we are into some unseasonably warm air.

Next Week

Next week will start quietly, but the middle part of the week could turn quite active. An area of low pressure will track off the eastern seaboard of the United States and intensify as it nears Atlantic Canada. At this point, I know there will be a potent low near the region, and it does have the potential to bring copious amounts of participation. However, I do not know if that precipitation will be in the form of rain, snow, or onshore or offshore. I’ll be watching this closely, so stay tuned for now.
