A more tranquil period of weather will take hold across the Province for the next couple of days. Other than some passing showers over the Island tonight, Friday and Saturday will be beautiful October days across the board. Some rain showers will move into Labrador West later Saturday afternoon, and they may spread over parts of the Island on Sunday.

Beyond that, we are looking at a potential blustery Monday as a storm depends in the North Atlantic. This will bring some rain and snow to Labrador and rain to parts of the Island from Sunday into Monday. There will also be some gusty winds over much of the province on Monday, with gusts potentially nearing 70 km/h in some places.

I am also watching two areas of concern in the tropics, neither of which looks like they threaten Atlantic Canada within the next seven days.
