Light snow and flurries will continue today over parts the Avalon and Bonavista Peninsula and possibly along the northeast coast as our low is slow to pull away. The rates will be much lower than yesterday, but forecast guidance does indicate that amounts of 2 to 5 cm will be found through the day for the Avlaon North, St. John’s Metro and then farther northwest toward the bonavista Peninsual and the northeast corner of the Island.

Outside of those areas, the weather will be quiet today. Highs range from near 0 on the Island to a few degrees below in Labrador. The map below shows the expected highs and weather across the Province today. I’ll have more updates on our later this morning and this afternoon.
