Storm slowly heads out BREEZE IS THE WORD for the day, and it will be felt in most areas that aren't shaded by the mountains. The storm that passed through Friday morning is slowly weakening and is heading northeast, with Melissa leading the charge on the eastern flank after brushing the Avalon of Newfoundland in the wee hours of the morning. High wind gusts and cold air aloft make for a dangerous day to hike the hills. Below-zero wind chills are likely for the Whites ISOLATED SHOWERS and SNOW SHOWERS for the north country as waves of energy wrap around the surface low heading for the Gulf of St. Lawrence. THE OCEAN IS ANGRY and will be for the next couple of days. The west/northwest wind does its job by blowing the water away from the shorelines. THE STORMS HEAD OUT THIS EVENING, any precipitation ends, and the wind drops overnight. EXPECT A FROSTY START TO SUNDAY, with most areas below freezing to start the day. It will be a decent day, with highs in the upper 30s in the mountains and mid-50s to the south. A light breeze may bring a bit of a nip to the mainly sunny sky. NEXT PRECIP CHANCES Monday night into Tuesday, which will bring light amounts of rainfall. The pattern appears to become more active midweek and next weekend, with storm ideas circulating. Wind, rain, and elevation snows are all possible. Time will tell, and stay tuned.   Cozy oceanside cottages and a wood fired sauna await!
