An upper-level pressure center will pass over the Island between Friday night and Saturday. This will bring widespread showers and possible thunderstorms, more than widespread stratiform rain. The best chance of showers and thunderstorms Friday evening and night will be over the western half of the Island. Saturday, the best chance of showers and thunderstorms will be over central and northeastern areas of the Island, particularly in the afternoon.

The weather across much of the province will be quiet during the second half of the weekend and into Tuesday of next week. The exception will be on the Avlaon and over eastern areas, where an area of low pressure may drive some showers or some rain on Tuesday. The next weather threat will be a cold front that may bring some showers to the Island Wednesday. That some front will bring some showers to Labrador Tuesday.

Weather Forecast Maps

The cold front will bring a cool down to Labrador for the middle part of next week and the Island between Wednesday and Thursday. Highs will drip into the teens for those couple of days before a return to 20s for the holiday weekend… or so it looks now.
