Friday Morning’s Weather Briefing — November 13, 2026
Good Friday Morning!
- A quiet, chilly start, with temperatures of -2° to 5° this morning across NL, with the coolest readings in eastern and central Newfoundland.
- Enjoy the morning, because it won’t last. Another low brings rain to the south coast, the Avalon and the northeast coast this afternoon and tonight, with 5 to 15 mm for most areas.
- Rain mixes with and changes to wet snow in northeast, central and western Newfoundland this evening and tonight, mainly inland and over higher terrain. Much of the area will see 2 to 5 cm, with 5 to 10 cm over the hills north of the south coast and across much of interior Newfoundland.
- In Labrador, light snow continues in Lab West and Churchill Falls, with a few more centimetres, while the north coast gets a soaking rain: about 40 mm around Hopedale by Saturday evening, with snow just inland.
- Things settle down on the Island by Saturday evening, with nicer weather heading into Sunday.
It’s a quiet, chilly start to Friday on the Island, with partly cloudy skies and temperatures of -2° to 5° this morning. The coolest readings are located over parts of eastern and central Newfoundland, so watch for a few icy patches as you head out the door. The warmest spots are along the south coast, with 5° in Burgeo. Labrador is between 0° and 3° this morning, with the warmest readings in the north and south.
Don’t let the quiet start fool you. The next low is taking shape to our southwest, and clouds thicken this morning ahead of it. Rain develops along the south coast late this morning and spreads across the Avalon, the Burin Peninsula and the northeast coast this afternoon, becoming steady by late afternoon and evening. Most areas pick up 5 to 15 mm by Saturday, with the most around Bonavista, Gander and Harbour Breton. The wind picks up tonight too, with gusts near 60 km/h on the Bonavista Peninsula.
In central and western Newfoundland, it’s a mix of rain and wet snow this afternoon, changing to snow this evening and tonight, mainly inland and over higher terrain. Grand Falls-Windsor and Lewisporte could see 2 to 5 cm, and the hills north of the south coast could get 5 to 10 cm. Around Corner Brook, Deer Lake and Gander, it’s a centimetre or so, mainly on grassy surfaces. On the Northern Peninsula, snow showers develop tonight and continue Saturday, with 2 to 5 cm over the higher ground.
The map below shows the expected snowfall totals as of late last night. Overnight guidance has shifted the snowfall forecast slightly east, so this may need adjustment; places like Gander may end up in the 2 to 5 cm range, whereas this map shows less than 1 cm.
In Labrador, it’s 0° in Lab West and Churchill Falls this morning, with snow showers through the day and tonight, about 2 to 5 cm by Saturday evening. Goose Bay starts with snow this morning, turning to showers of rain and wet snow this afternoon, with just a centimetre or two. The north coast gets the heaviest precipitation: rain in Hopedale today and tonight, about 40 mm by Saturday evening, with gusty northeast winds this afternoon. Just inland and north of Hopedale, it’s snow, with 10 to 15 cm around Natuashish and 5 to 10 cm in Nain, and heavier amounts over the higher terrain. Southeastern Labrador gets light snow on Saturday, with 1 to 5 cm along the coast.
