A Snow Squall Watch has been re-issued for Deer Lake – Humber Valley, Gros Morne and Corner Brook and vicinity for Thursday through Friday. Snowfall will exceed 20 cm locally in snow squalls and winds will gust to 60 km/h.

Computer guidance suggests that snowfall in the higher terrain will be significant over the next 48 hours. The highest peaks will likely see over 60 cm of snow. This will make for some good back country conditions for people who like to play in the snow, but exercise caution as the avalanche threat is likely evelvated in some areas.


Post 3 – 4 PM NST (3:30 PM AST)

The majority of the snow squall watches and warnings have been ended. The ecxption is for Bay St. Geroge and Channel-Port aux Basques, where a Snow Squall Watch remains in effect through tonight.

Temperatures certainly are feeling more like the season across the Province this afternoon!

Skies over eastern Newfoundland, which have been cloudy through much of the day, will begin to clear late this afternoon. Satelite imagery shows the back edge of the dense clouds, denoted by red line, from near Bonavista to Connagire. That line is moving east and should set much of the Island up for a clear night… aside from the West Coast.

Good morning!

We are waking up to flurries and smaller-scale snow squalls over eastern Newfoundland, and some areas (mainly south of St. John’s) did pick up a little snow overnight. The squalls are still ongoing and are impressive on the West Coast, and there they will, again, continue throughout the day.

The Snow Squall Watches that were in effect for a large part of eastern Newfoundland have been ended. However, the alerts remain in effect at this hour for much of western and even into parts of central and southern as of 6 AM.

The area between Badger and Deer Lake looks to have been hit pretty hard by snowfall overnight and according to the 511NL.ca, travel is currently not recommended between those two areas. Travel is also not recommended into parts of Notre Dame Bay and down into Howley.

TODAY’S FORECAST

Eastern Newfoundland will see pockets of flurries and light snowfall throughout the day, including this morning. It will be enough to bring up to 5 cm of snow to some areas. However the farther north one goes the less snow there will be. I expect only one or two centimeters north of Bay Roberts and St. John’s at this time. Roads will be snow-covered in some areas. The wind speeds will not be as high as yesterday. Highs near -7.

Central will see scattered flurries and a mix of sun and cloud. Once west of Grand Falls-Windsor you’ll find some snow from flurries and snow squalls to be a bit more widespread. This will be particularly true through the Green Bay – White Bay areas and then back towards the West Coast. Birchy Narrows can be treachersous in conditions like this so use caution going through the area. Highs near -9.

The West Coast and South Coast will see intense squalls at times today, piling up significant amounts of snow in some areas. Areas not under squall will be cloudy, with flurries. Snowfall outside of the squalls and flurries will not be substantial. Scattered flurries will also be found on the Northern Peninsula, but once north of Cow Head, the snow squalls should ease. Highs near -10 to -15 (coldest north).

Labrador will be cold and sunny today, with highs in the minus 20s.
