Winds will be gusty, especially from the southeast early on, shifting to the southwest later. Into the night, periods of rain are expected, with the low near +4 °C. Then on Sunday, steady rain returns, combined with windy conditions, and a high near 7 °C in St. John’s. The night will gradually become just cloudy.


In western and central areas, Saturday will bring drizzle mixed with rain, though amounts are modest, and conditions will clear somewhat by afternoon. Overnight, showers continue with temperatures right around freezing. By Sunday, there’s a chance of flurries, with daytime highs only around +1 °C, then cloudy overnight.
