WEEKEND OUTLOOK: Wet and Snowy for parts of the province

Saturday

The day will open with a mostly cloudy sky and a passing shower. Expect scattered periods of rainfall in the afternoon as temperatures reach a high near 10 and dip to around 3 overnight.

While widespread snow is not on the agenda for most coastal areas, strong rainfall warnings are in effect for portions of Labrador, and higher terrain may see a mixing of rain and snow.

In Labrador’s higher elevations, the expected 15 cm of snow could reduce visibility significantly, and mixed rain/snow at lower elevations may make for slippery roadways.

Sunday

The weather turns cooler and breezier. Rain and drizzle will make for a damp and raw Sunday, with the daytime high only near 6 and the overnight low approaching 1.

Conditions in elevated interior areas may include the season’s first snow accumulation, especially along the Trans-Labrador Highway between Happy Valley‑Goose Bay and Cartwright Junction, where a snowfall warning is in effect.

Residents and travellers alike should monitor the forecast.
