Weekend System

Significant snowfall, rainfall, and strong winds are expected from Sunday morning until Monday morning.

Higher than normal water levels and large waves are also expected near parts of the coast.

Snow is expected to begin over eastern Newfoundland early Sunday morning and spread northwestward across the island through the day. The snow may mix with rain for a period on Sunday in the west, while transitioning completely to rain in the east with temperatures rising above zero. Strong east to northeasterly winds are expected to accompany this system on Sunday through Monday morning.

Large waves and pounding surf will produce higher than normal water levels along coastal areas from Ferryland to Cape Freels, especially near high tide on Sunday.
