Yellow Warning - Rainfall

Issued at Mon 5:21 AM Jan. 12
Issued by: Environment and Climate Change Canada
Description
Rain, heavy at times continues. The frozen ground has a reduced ability to absorb this rainfall. Total rainfall (Connaigre and Burin peninsulas): 25 to 35 mm, locally higher amounts possible. Total rainfall (Burgeo to Ramea): 20 to 25 mm. Time span: continuing until this afternoon. Remarks: Rain is expected to change back to snow this afternoon as temperatures fall back below the freezing mark this afternoon. This may lead to roads and walkways becoming icy and slippery as standing water freezes. ### Water will likely pool on roads and in low-lying areas. Rainfall warnings are issued when significant impacts are expected due to rainfall amounts. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to NLstorm@ec.gc.ca or post reports on X using #NLwx.

Yellow Advisory - Blowing Snow

Issued at Mon 5:29 AM Jan. 12
Issued by: Environment and Climate Change Canada
Description

Snow and strong winds will lead to poor visibility in blowing snow.

Locations: northeastern, eastern, and southern Newfoundland.

Total snowfall: 2 to 5 cm, except potentially up to 10 cm over the Burgeo Highway.

Maximum wind gusts: northwesterly to southwesterly 100 to 110 km/h, except 130 along parts of the coast.

Time span: this afternoon or evening until early Tuesday morning.

Remarks: Conditions are expected to deteriorate as strengthening winds combine with snow and falling temperatures to cause widespread blowing snow this afternoon and tonight.

Travel will likely be hazardous due to near-zero visibility in blowing snow, while falling temperatures will result in the freezing of standing water from snowmelt or rainfall. Roads and walkways will likely be hazardous due to increasingly icy conditions and poor visibility.

###

Blowing snow advisories are issued when widespread poor visibility in blowing snow is expected.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to NLstorm@ec.gc.ca or post reports on X using #NLwx.
