CBC Newfoundland & Labrador

Here it Comes...

Our First Fall Storm...

This very impressive looking storm is getting set to smack the Eastern half of the Island with some very heavy rain and very gusty winds. In fact the areas that will be hardest hit...St. John's and the Avalon, The Burin Peninsula, The Bonavista Peninsula and Clarenville and Vicinity... are under Rainfall warnings and Wind Warnings.

Rainfall Warnings-Areas under the Rainfall Warning are forecast to see more than 50 mm in 24 hours. In fact, it looks like most of these areas could actually see more than 60... and perhaps as much as 70 mm's of rain by Wednesday morning.

Winds Warnings- Again it will be the Eastern half of the Island that takes the biggest hit with this storm. Tuesday afternoon winds will be gusting to 100 km/h. Central regions could see gusts to 70, 80 or even 90 around the Coast.

Here's a bit of rough timeline... starting with tonight.
Heavy rainfall works in... winds a little gusty... but nothing compared to what's to come.

Tomorrow Morning
The initial heavy rain works North... but as the Centre of the Low works in we'll see another round of heavy rain and winds will begin to increase.

Tomorrow Afternoon
The Heavy rain continues as the Centre of the Low passes just to the East of the Island. This is when winds will be the strongest... gusting to 100 km/h.

Full Details Tonight On Here and Now @ 6... 5:30 in most of Labrador.

Your Comments

Ryan you Rock! I love the energy you put into reporting the forecast. Thanks!

By the way I am wondering, if at this distant time, can you predict for me what the weather will be like on this coming Saturday? I would like to know since I have plans for that day that needs decent weather. In the meantime I suspect it could be an impossible feat to predict the weather in St. John's so far away.

Thanks and PLEASE keep on entertaining your viewers with your energetic format for weather forecasting.

Hi Ryan,
Really enjoy your detailed weather reports.
Keep up the good work. So nice to have a weather reporter that concentrates on the weather not other issues.
Please do not do weather hits that put the weather report in second place as the weather person does on another local channel.

Hi Ryan,
Really enjoy your weather reports. Keep up the good work. Today i watched as you gave a detailed current wind report, it would be really great if you could give the next day forecasted winds as you do the current winds.

Tks
