Adverse winter weather followed by mild temperatures and significant rainfall is expected.

Locations: eastern and southeastern Newfoundland.

Potential snowfall: 5 to 10 cm, highest over the northern Avalon Peninsula, Clarenville, and the Bonavista Peninsula.

Potential freezing rain and ice pellet duration: 3 to 6 hours.
Potential freezing rain amounts: 5 to 10 mm.

Potential rainfall: 15 to 40 mm.

Potential wind gusts (Monday morning): southeasterly 80 km/h.
Potential wind gusts (Monday afternoon until Tuesday): west to southwesterly 90 km/h except 120 along parts of the coast.

Time span: Sunday night until early Tuesday morning.

Remarks: After an initial period of snow and local blowing snow, precipitation is expected to change to a period of ice pellets and freezing rain before changing over to rain. Rainfall may be significant over some areas.

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 to become icy and slippery as standing water freezes.

Consider adjusting travel plans to avoid the most adverse conditions.
