Newfoundland and Labrador Forecast for Tuesday

A cooler and brighter day is expected across much of Newfoundland and Labrador on Tuesday as the low-pressure system that brought rain, snow and gusty winds moves away. Skies will gradually clear across most regions through the morning and afternoon, with temperatures ranging from the mid-single digits along exposed coasts to near 11°C inland.

Northwest winds will ease through the day, becoming light by noon. Highs will reach around 5°C along the coast, with inland areas climbing to 9°C. Southeastern and southwestern portions of the Avalon can expect a mix of sun and cloud, clearing later in the day with afternoon temperatures near 7°C.

Central Newfoundland

From Clarenville and Bonavista to Gander, Grand Falls-Windsor and the Exploits Valley, a mix of sun and cloud is expected after a cloudy start. Many inland communities will warm to around 9 to 11°C.

South Coast

The Burin Peninsula and Connaigre region will see a pleasant mix of sun and cloud with highs generally between 6 and 11°C, depending on proximity to the coast. Along the southwest coast, including Burgeo and Ramea, increasing southeast winds will develop with a risk of scattered afternoon showers and highs near 8°C.

West Coast
