Showers, with possible thundershowers, are forecast to spread over central and northeastern Newfoundland today ahead of an approaching area of low pressure, the national weather forecaster has predicted.
“Showers will continue tonight and Saturday, then become mixed with or change over to snow Saturday evening as a cold northerly flow strengthens behind the system. Snow and strong north to northwesterly winds are forecast to persist into Sunday morning, and then gradually taper off Sunday afternoon and evening,” the forecast says.
The potential exists for significant snowfall amounts, potentially exceeding warning criteria over some areas.
Temperatures will range form 15 C today in central to and 7 C Saturday, 3 C on Sunday and 7 C on Monday.

“Showers are forecast to change to snow over higher terrain early Saturday as a cold northerly flow strengthens behind the system, with a possibility for freezing rain over some locations during the changeover. Along the immediate coastline, rain will only mix with or briefly change to snow at times as temperatures remain above freezing. The mix of rain and snow and strong northerly winds will likely continue through the day Saturday and into Saturday night, before tapering off Sunday morning. Rainfall and snowfall warnings have been issued for the Great Northern Peninsula and may need to be expanded with future forecasts,” the forecast says.
