Brief Storm Will Bring Up to 20cm of Snow to the Northern Peninsula Sunday

A quick moving storm will begin to impact Newfoundland overnight tonight which will dump up to 20cm of snow across the Northern Peninsula before the end of the day tomorrow. There will be light snow across the rest of Western Newfoundland and into Central Newfoundland throughout the day, with less than 10cm expected to fall.

The snow will begin to fall in the Port aux Basques area after midnight tonight and it will spread northeastward across the province during the early morning hours. By sunrise, most of the Island will be seeing snow, with the exception of the Burin and Avalon Peninsulas where it will not quite be cold enough for snow. The snow will be consistent through the day for the Northern Peninsula and the Baie Verte Peninsula, but everywhere else will see a short-lived period of freezing rain and a bit of light rain before the storm is over. There will be a couple of areas that may see a bit more than just freezing drizzle, namely the South Coast from Burgeo across to the northern half of the Burin Peninsula and the Eastern Avalon, before the transition to rain occurs.
