Significant snowfall possible for central and eastern Newfoundland

Another low is expected to head toward Newfoundland on Thursday. On its current track, the storm looks like it will deliver snow to most of Newfoundland.


Snow will move into Newfoundland on Thursday morning. Snow will spread across the entire island portion of the province.


On Thursday afternoon the snow is expected to mix with ice pellets over the Avalon Peninsula before changing back to snow.


The heaviest snow looks like it could fall over the Burin Peninsula and Northern Avalon. Snowfall amounts of 20 to 40 cm are possible in those areas. Central Newfoundland could end up with 15 to 20 cm and western sections will only get about 5 cm.


The big question is the exact track. For example, on the southern Avalon, some areas could see as little as 2 cm while on the northern Avalon snowfall amounts are expected to be high. There is still some model disagreement on snowfall totals. As a result, a slight shift in the track could alter snowfall amounts significantly.


In central and eastern Newfoundland including the Avalon Peninsula, winds are expected to gust to 80 km/h.


Labrador will not see any impacts from this storm.
