Low Pressure,Rain,Wet Snow

A weakening area of low pressure will rotate across, or near, the Avalon Peninsula today from northwest to southwest. This low, combined with broad onshore flow will drive another round of rain and wet snow across much of the Island today. The exception will be parts of the West Coast and the South Coast , which will remain primarily dry.
