Flurries and snow squalls will persist across southern and western Newfoundland overnight, and the Snow Squall Watch will remain in effect until Friday at some point. Although for the West Coast it may get extended into Saturday.

Snowfall will be significant for parts of western Newfoundland between tonight and early Saturday morning. The lower elevations will pick up 5 to 10 cm of new snow, with locally higher amounts. The higher terrain, however, will as much as 50 cm in the same time frame.

Outside of the West Coast and parts of the South Coast, we will not see much active weather over the next few days. We will also see a slight moderating trend in the temperatures for the weekend.

For the full forecast, be sure to watch the video attached to the top of this post.

Temperatures have come a bit as we get through the lunch hour. But wind chills are still on the low side as we are in the midst of a breezy day.

In St. John’s, the wind chill has been in the minus 20s through most of the day. It may get a little better later this afternoon, but it will not get warm by any stretch of the imagination.

We are also seeing areas of flurries and snow squalls along and near the West Coast. The radar sweep from Marble confirms that. A Snow Squall Watch remains in effect (read about that in Post 1) for the West Coast and South Coast through tomorrow.

Good Thursday morning!

It’s cold to start the day with temperatures in the minus teens, minus twenties, and thirties! Wind chills are even colder in most locations!

Temperatures today will rebound somewhat into the minus single digits and teens on the Island and generally minus teens and 20s in the Big Land. Weather in Labrador will be quiet today, while on the Island, snow squalls and flurries will be omnipresent on the West Coast. The South Coast and Burin Peninsula will also see see flurries and snow squalls developing this afternoon and evening.

Snow Squall Watches are again in effect from today through at least tomorrow for much of western and southern Newfoundland. And they very well may get expanded farther east and north later today or tonight.

Remember, a Snow Squall Watch means that the conditions are favorable for the development of snow squalls that may produce 15 cm of snow, or more, in 12 hours or less or may produce visibility of 400 meters or less for 3 hours or more.
