Hazardous winter conditions are possible.

A second round of snow is expected to begin Friday night.

Locations: northeastern Newfoundland.

Potential snowfall: 30 cm or more.

Potential wind gusts: northeasterly 70 to 90 km/h.

Time span: Friday evening until Saturday evening.

Remarks: Following a break during the day on Boxing Day, a second weather system is expected to bring another period of snow that could be heavy at times. This round will be accompanied by mild temperatures near the freezing mark, resulting in dense, wetter snowfall. While this may help limit widespread blowing snow, total accumulations could be significant - especially when added to that from the Christmas Day storm. Cleanup efforts could take longer than usual.

If you are planning travel, consider taking advantage of the break between storms, or wait until conditions improve.
