An area of low pressure will track just east of the Avalon Peninsula overnight into early Friday. This will spread some snow, ice pellets, freezing rain , and rain over roughly the island’s eastern half in the time frame. A Freezing Rain Warning is in effect for much of southeastern Newfoundland . Keep in mind that the lack of a weather alert doesn’t mean there will be no weather in your area. It just means the weather expected in your area will warrant an alert.
For the Avalon and Burin Peninsulas, snow this evening will quickly transition to ice pellets and then to freezing rain. The freezing rain will last for several hours or until the precipitation ends between 7 and 9 AM Friday. Some areas of the Avalon will see the freezing rain change to rain, while others will not. Regardless, freezing rain amounts will be 5-10 mm. This will be enough to coat the trees and power lines but shouldn’t be enough to down powerlines and cause widespread outage
