Feel you pain. Forecast for the island of Newfoundland from VOCM. In parts of Labrador it is worse. At least it will put out the forest fires.
It’s going to be a very wet long weekend for much of the island.
On the west coast, Environment Canada has issued a rainfall warning for Bay St. George up to Gros Morne. Between 40 and 65 mm is possible, with upwards of 85 mm possible in areas of heaviest rain between today and tomorrow.
Environment Canada says there will be a brief break where the rain will taper off to drizzle or showers Sunday morning, but things will quickly ramp up again as a second system moves in.
Meanwhile, those systems are expected move across the island bringing a mix of wind, rain and snow to the Northern Peninsula, Central, and Northeastern Newfoundland.
Between 20 and 40 mm of rain and 5 to 10 cm of snow are expected in those areas.
The rain will begin throughout the day today, while the snow will begin late Sunday on the Northern Peninsula and early Monday further east.
As well, strong northerly winds are expected to develop Sunday night, gusting up around 70 km/h. Those will diminish during the day on Monday.
