Wednesday’s rain for Newfoundland mostly stays west and south
For Newfoundland’s West Coast, South Coast and Northern Peninsula, the rain comes in three waves, totaling a manageable 5-10 mm. They come morning, afternoon and night, with breaks of cloud in between.
The winds stay below average most of the day, increase from the southeast in Corner Brook specifically in the evening. These winds from a cooler direction limit the day time highs, with double digits reachable by end of day for some but not all once the wind shifts directly south.

Most of the rain in those waves tapper off as they move east. The third and final evening dose of rain has the best opportunity to reach into central as a measurable rainfall.
The Avalon, where we are likely to see moments of sun, is likely going to wait until the overnight to see some light rain pass through, clearing by Thursday sunrise.
Similarly to the west and north, these region’s warmest moments will likely be on the back end of the day, with the shift in wind direction.
