Some schools in western Labrador were closed today as result.

Western Newfoundland will see rain today and gusty winds. Inland and over higher elevations, some snow is expected. In the heaviest snow, some areas could see up to 10 centimetres through tonight. Areas near the water may remain as rain.

Conditions do clear tomorrow before another low arrives on Saturday night.

This low will spread snow across southern Labrador and rain across Newfoundland on Sunday. This low will be accompanied by strong winds.

Temperatures will rise to near twenty degrees across Newfoundland on Sunday with the passage of a front.
