Fantastic Weekend Forecast

Welcome to the Warmth!
For you folks in St. John's and parts of the Avalon you are already seeing temperatures of 14, 15 and 16 degrees today and Saturday and Sunday are looking dandy as well.

TODAY
There's still a weak trough hanging out in Western Newfoundland today bringing some lingering showers and even a wet flurry. However, it's slowly clearing out. You folks in Labrador are hanging on to the cloud cover as well... however things will clear later this afternoon.

SATURDAY
It's been a tough call for most of the week... however it appears you folks in Southern Labrador are indeed going to get a taste of this warm air moving in from the South. A Cold front approaching from the West will start to slice across Labrador on Saturday... however just ahead of it that Southerly flow should pump you folks to double digits.
It's all Sun and Warmth across Newfoundland.
