2 WEATHER ALERTS
YELLOW WARNING - WINTER STORM

Impact Level: Moderate

Forecast Confidence: High


Snow, blowing snow, and strong winds are expected. Locations: most of central and western Newfoundland, and Northern Peninsula East. Total snowfall: 20 to 35 cm, with locally higher amounts possible over higher terrain. Maximum wind gusts: northeasterly 70 to 80 km/h shifting to northwesterly 70 to 100 km/h. Time span: tonight until Tuesday morning. Similar storms in the past have caused: - school closures and cancellations of community activities - disruptions to public services - delays or cancellations of ferry services Remarks: Snow will begin this evening or near midnight for western and central Newfoundland, and early Monday morning for the Great Northern Peninsula. Strong winds accompanying the snow will cause poor visibility in blowing snow. The highest snowfall rates are expected to occur during the day on Monday, while the strongest winds will occur Monday evening and overnight in a northwesterly flow. Snow will taper to flurries Monday night into early Tuesday morning as winds gradually ease. Visibility will likely be suddenly reduced to near zero at times. Prepare for some disruptions to transportation, services, and utilities. Winter Storm Warnings are issued when multiple types of severe winter weather (such as snow, freezing rain, wind and rain) are expected or occurring. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to NLstorm@ec.gc.ca or post reports on X using #NLwx.

In effect for:

  • Green Bay - White Bay
COASTAL FLOODING STATEMENT

Significant storm surge and wave activity is possible. Locations: the northeast coast of Newfoundland from Green Bay to Bonavista Bay. Time span: late Monday evening until Tuesday morning. Most significant effects near high tide. Maximum wave heights: 7 to 9 metres, breaking upon approach to shore. High tide: 4:00 A.M. to 6:00 A.M. Tuesday morning. Remarks: The potential exists for coastal waters to significantly exceed the highest astronomical tide when storm surge combines with strong wave action near high tide. A combination of surge and wave action could cause localized flood damage along parts of the coast. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada.
