Coastal Storm Update

Hey folks,

We've seen some pretty decent rainfall over the past 18 hours or so... and really this storm is only only about half way through with us... and some of the worst is still to come.
I haven't called Environment Canada yet to find out how much rain has fallen... I'm saving that call for around 3pm this afternoon. However in their statement released around 11am this morning they say about 25 to 45 millimetres has already fallen. Even St. John's reported that 20 mm from 6pm to 12 midnight last night... and we've seen lots of rain since then.
We're going to see a bit of a break here along the Eastern half of the Island early this afternoon... however as the centre of Low tracks in later this afternoon and into this evening... we'll likely see the heaviest rainfall yet.

Now, thanks to the counter clockwise spin around the Low... and the Clockwise spin around the area of High pressure to the West... Winds are going to be extremely gusty in from the North through the evening and overnight. Those Cold Northerly winds will gust to 100 km/h in the East... and could actually help to produce some overnight snow flurries in the Central and Western regions!

Full details tonight on Here & Now.

P.S. Looks like St. John's and the Avalon are going to get clipped by another windy rain maker on Thursday. We'll talk about that tomorrow.
