Hey Folks,

First I should touch on the soaking rains you folks had on parts of the West Coast on Saturday. The trailing trough I was talking about on Friday on Here & Now turned out to be quite soggy indeed... mostly because of the Thunderstorms it fired up. One of my Weather spies, Michael, down in Port aux Basques reported thunderstorms which flickered the lights and dropped about 30 mm of rain. Stephenville reported 33.2 mm and Deer Lake 28.6 mm. The heaviest thunderstorms worked right through the Wreckhouse area where 83.4 mm fell! According to the folks at the Gander weather office 50 mm fell in an hour.

Late last week I was telling you about a potential soaker of a system for parts of Newfoundland Monday night into Tuesday. As I watched various computer model runs throughout the weekend... they seemed to weaken the system with each passing run. So it appears the soaking rain, (which would have been great to have after the 20-30 mm which fell Friday night) is just not meant to be this time around.

-Here's a GEM run snapshot from this mornings run... showing perhaps a 10 mm shot for Eastern Newfoundland tomorrow.

-The GFS is showing things a bit stronger, with perhaps the potential to see as much as 15-20 mm on the Avalon. But nothing more than that.

-Central and Western Newfoundland will see a tonight/tomorrow shot of 5-10 mm.

-In Labrador you folks are clearing out into Tuesday as an area of High pressure slides in and sets up for the next 2 or 3 days.

-Wednesday and Thursday are still a little up in the air for Newfoundland. Things depend on whether or not that High over Labrador will be strong enough to sink down and protect the Island from another Low coming out of the Great Lakes.

-I have more on that tonight on Here & Now.
