Brace Yourself for Treacherous Weather!

Get ready, Newfoundland! Today, the island is bracing for a chaotic mix of icy conditions and heavy rainfall. While the east and south will experience pouring rain, the central and western parts are facing treacherous ice.

Heavy Rainfall Expected!

Rainfall warnings are in effect for the Avalon Peninsula, Clarenville, and Marystown to Harbour Breton. Residents in these areas should be prepared for 30 to 40 mm of rain likely through tonight, as the rain began pouring in metro early last evening and shows no signs of letting up.

Freezing Rain Warning: Stay Cautious!

Adding to the already challenging weather, a freezing rain warning has been issued for central Newfoundland, the west coast, and parts of the northeast. Meteorologist Justin Boudreau foresees a drop in temperature once winds shift to the northeast, potentially leaving these regions with a hazardous 15-30 mm of ice.

Driving Hazards Ahead!

"While 15 mm of ice isn't overly alarming, 30 mm could blanket trees and lead to broken branches, posing risks to power lines," warns Boudreau. Drivers should be especially careful as road conditions are expected to be slippery.

Northern Peninsula to See Snow!

In an unexpected twist, the precipitation may turn to snow on the Northern Peninsula and southeastern Labrador, adding yet another layer of complexity to today’s weather.

From Spring Warmth to Winter's Grasp!

This turbulent weather follows a weekend of unprecedented warmth, with record-breaking temperatures soaring to 18.6 degrees in Terra Nova and 16.2 degrees in Gander. St. Lawrence even set a new record on Saturday, surpassing 10 degrees.
