Thank you for making my long days and efforts worth my time.  WIND is the main impact feature statewide. The County will likely be hammered by strong wind blowing snow as the storm tracks over New Brunswick and combines with the original low over Quebec in the Gulf of St. Lawrence later in the day. Isolated power outages are possible throughout the region. This may be the strongest winter storm so far, as forecast ideas turn this system into a sub-970mb "winter cane" near Baie-Comeau by Friday evening. The system is forecast to completely bomb out to around 955mb over Labrador by Saturday afternoon, keeping the stiff breeze and cold windchills going. Expect breezy conditions to continue through early next week. SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW are the concerns for the north, which may toy with blizzard criteria given the wind and low visibility. Whiteout conditions and dangerous travel are expected there. The snow shower machine will likely continue for the western mountains through the day and into Saturday to bring some charity flakes to the ski hills after the compaction. The County sees a similar scenario with snow showers and blowing snow continuing there. SUNDAY starts mainly sunny, with increasing clouds as ridging moves in from the west. Breezy conditions continue. NEXT WEEK warms up starting Tuesday but could be unsettled with a series of clippers passing through the region. At this point, no significant storms are expected through midweek. Trust in the long-range beyond that is very low for now. Check out the Weather Wall with all your current |
