Winter, is that you?

Next week, we will feature the coldest air of the season across the province and the region as the jet stream takes a big-time dip. This animation is displayed in the GIF below.

This insurgency of cold air will drop temperatures to levels we haven’t seen much of this winter. I’m expecting highs on the Island to be well below freezing next week, while in Labrador, a high no better than -26 or -27 is possible. You can see the 10-day forecast(s) below.

This pattern will favor some very intense onshore snow squalls for the West Coast of the Island beginning Tuesday and continuing into at least Friday. This will lead to some areas, like the mountains, seeing very heavy snow in that time frame. Other areas will see snow, too, but where that is isn’t overly obvious this evening.

There is a chance that parts of the Avalon, including the St. John’s Metro, will see a period of light snow Thursday afternoon from an area of low pressure lurking offshore. There is uncertainty in the position of this low, which is why it’s a chance of seeing the snow and not a certainty at this point. If it does snow, amounts will be less than 5 cm.

Weather across the province today will remain largely the same as it was during the last couple of days. There will be scattered flurries over eastern, southern, and western Newfoundland, with more numerous flurries through central and along the northeast coast. Areas that see more scattered flurries will also have some sunny breaks today.

Labrador will generally see a sunny day with highs of -5 to -15.

The long-range forecast looks quiet throughout the work week and into the weekend. A stronger storm will move through Sunday, bringing rain and wind to the island and snow to parts of Labrador.

Stay tuned for details.
