Newfoundland Today
Much of the fog across eastern and central Newfoundland this morning should retreat to the coast over the next few hours, revealing plenty of blue sky. The question is how far inland it will retreat. Today could be one of those days when it stays foggy right along the east- and north-facing shorelines, while just a few kilometres inland it’s sunny. The difference between a place like Outer Cove and CBS could be significant. Meanwhile, the GNP, the West Coast and all south-facing shores will see abundant sunshine today. Highs will range from the middle teens near the north- and east-facing shores, where the onshore northerly wind will keep things cooler, to the middle and upper 20s farther west and south in the offshore flow. Areas in between will see temperatures in between. I should also mention a few showers are possible on the Northern Peninsula and, later this afternoon, on parts of the West Coast as far south as Rocky Harbour and the Bay of Islands area.
Labrador Today
Expect partly to mostly cloudy skies across the Big Land today as a weak trough/frontal boundary moves into the area. This will spark off some showers this morning and more widespread showers and possible thunderstorms this afternoon. Forecasts indicate much of this activity will be focused in the southeast corner of Labrador, with the showers approaching the Strait of Belle Isle and Quebec’s Lower North Shore later this afternoon or early evening. Highs reach the teens and 20s today.
Regional Highlight
Heat warnings are up for New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, with highs in the low 30s and humidex values near 38 today and tomorrow and Sunday. If you’re looking to find the heat, it’s across the Cabot Strait!
My next update will be posted later today!
