Wind and snow to put a damper on Saturday plans

Some nasty weather is on the way for parts of the province today.

On the Island, northern and northeastern Newfoundland will see winds gusting to 100 km/h this afternoon and early in the evening. The remainder of the Island will also see gusty winds with gusts between 70 and 90 km/h expected elsewhere. Rain is also expected today. Most areas will see 5 mm, with higher amounts expected across the Avalon and south coast.

In Labrador, areas including Eagle River, Cartwright to Black Tickle, Norman Bay to Lodge Bay, and Red Bay to L'Anse-au-Clair will pick up 5 to 10 cm of snow inland and over higher terrain today. The snow that does fall will be wet and heavy. Snowfall amounts of 2 to 5 cm are expected across the remainder of Labrador. 

This snow may make travel hazardous.
