Active AlertsFrenchmans Cove Provincial Park, NL

Rain, heavy at times is expected. The frozen ground has a reduced ability to absorb this rainfall.

Locations: Connaigre and Burin Peninsulas.

Total rainfall: 25 to 40 mm.

Time span: overnight Sunday until midday Monday.

Remarks: The rain will be preceded by a period of snow, ice pellets, and freezing rain before temperatures rise and a changeover to rain occurs. Subsequent rain and snowmelt could lead to water pooling on roads and localized flooding in low-lying areas. Temperatures are expected to then fall back below the freezing mark on Monday night, which may lead to roads and walkways becoming icy and slippery as standing water freezes.

Winds will also significantly intensify from the west-southwest later in the day on Monday. Further warnings for wind are likely to be issued with subsequent forecasts.
