'Weather bomb' to hit Newfoundland and Labrador
Special weather alerts and warnings remain in effect for most of Newfoundland and parts of coastal Labrador as a powerful system, described as a “weather bomb,” moves toward the region on Tuesday.
Regions under alert
- Avalon and Burin peninsulas
- Most of Newfoundland island
- Coastal Labrador
Expected conditions
The storm’s most intense phase is projected to begin Tuesday afternoon and continue through Wednesday night. A wind warning is in effect, with gusts predicted to reach up to 110 km/h by Tuesday evening, possibly surpassing 100 km/h overnight.
“This is going to be an incredibly strong northeaster,” said CBC meteorologist Ashley Brauweiler.
Heavy rain will spread from the Avalon through central Newfoundland to the south coast Tuesday morning, bringing 50 to 70 millimetres of precipitation to some areas. Environment Canada warns of potential coastal flooding, with waves expected to rise as high as six to nine metres.
Brauweiler noted that the south coast could face hazardous conditions during high tide. The system is anticipated to weaken by Wednesday night or early Thursday.
Impact on coastal Labrador
Coastal Labrador is forecast to experience the edge of this system starting Tuesday night, possibly lasting until Friday. Rainfall could reach 50 millimetres in a 24-hour period, with snow possible inland. Winds may rise to 100 km/h, and a coastal flooding advisory remains in place due to surge and large waves.
Summary
This powerful storm threatens Newfoundland and Labrador with heavy rain, fierce winds, and dangerous coastal waves, before gradually subsiding later in the week.
