Good Monday evening, folks! An area of low pressure will track through the Gulf of St. Lawrence tonight and will end up off the coast of Labrador by Tuesday afternoon. This low will bring rain to Newfoundland, mainly tonight, and snow to Labrador thru Wednesday morning! Snowfall amounts with the low will be very high across parts of the Big Land! Luckily rainfall amounts will not be as excessive across the Island. NEWFOUNDLAND FORECAST: TONIGHT: Temperatures across much of the Island will slowly rise into the mid single numbers by early Tuesday morning. Rain will develop this evening and will become heavy at time overnight, before ending early Tuesday morning. The rain may start as freezing rain for interior areas of the island tonight, before quickly changing to rain as temperature rise above freezing. A few millimeters of freezing rain may fall in the Green Bay-White Bay area and the Northern Peninsula, where Environment Canada has issued a FREEZING RAIN WARNING. Generally 5-10 mm of rain will fall... with perhaps up to 20 mm along the south coast and eastern 2/3 of the Avalon Peninsula. TUESDAY: Morning showers end as flurries by afternoon as colder air is ushered in behind a cold front. Temperatures in the morning near 5° to 8° fall back to near 0° by afternoon for most areas. very little new snow accumulation is expected. EXTENDED: Tuesday and Wednesday look fairly quiet, with high temperatures a few degrees below the freezing point. Another area of low pressure will pass over the eastern side of the Island late Thursday into Friday.This low has potential to bring significant snowfall to many areas of eastern Newfoundland. Stay tuned! LABRADOR FORECAST: TONIGHT: Snow remains heavy at times for much of central and western Labrador. Temperatures rise into the lower minus teens or upper minus single digits by Tuesday morning. Winds pick up as well, and will help blow and drift the snow around. TUESDAY: Snow continues, heavy at times, for virtually all of the Big Land. Heavy snow and high winds along the coast will generate blizzard conditions at times during the afternoon and into Tuesday night. Snow will not end until Tuesday night, and on the coast it will not end up Wednesday morning. Temperatures near 0 to -5° from the coast to Happy Valley-Goose Bay and closer to -10° North and West. Snowfall amounts for a large area will be in the 30-60 cm range by the time were all said and done Wednesday morning. EXTENDED: Generally quiet, but cold weather, will prevail in Labrador after early week, as a ridge of high pressure builds in. --- Have a great night! Cheers, Meteorologist Eddie Sheerr
