Rain, snow and wind will be found over the Island between Friday night and midday Sunday
An area of low pressure will intensify southeast of the Avalon Peninsula on Saturday before moving into the North Atlantic, away from the Province, on Sunday. This low promise will bring a potpourri of weather to Newfoundland later tonight and Sunday morning. Rain, snow, and wind are forecast between Friday evening and Sunday morning, although they will not all occur simultaneously.Snow and rain will develop overnight along the West Coast and over interior areas of the Island.
Wind gusts will be 80 to 100 km/h for many areas, with some locations seeing as high as 110 km/h. The direction will be from the northwest. And while this may not seem like a lot, consider this: the ground is not frozen, and leaves are still on the trees. This will probably lead to tree damage across much of the affected area on Saturday night and Sunday morning. There is certainly potential for some power outages as well.
The weather will improve later Sunday, setting the stage for a calmer start to the week. The next chance of rain and snow will be on Tuesday/Wednesday. The five-day forecast highlights this well.
