Weather
There will be a mix of sun and cloud across the province Thursday with west wind gusting 50-60 km/h. With the wind chill, it will feel like -11 to -14 C.
A word from SaltWire Network chief meteorologist Cindy Day
“Thank goodness for the sun – the “higher in the sky” March sun, that is. Out of the wind, it’s quite pleasant today, but the stalled storm system is still in the vicinity and not quite through with us yet. A cold front stretching back from the low that has retrograded and now sits over southwestern Labrador will sweep down across the province tomorrow. The line will create enough lift to bring more clouds, a wind-shift to the northwest and a drop in temperature. Friday’s cold snap will be short-lived. A fair-weather system drifting to our south will serve up a pleasant weekend, with daytime high temperatures getting back to just a few degrees below freezing. The return flow behind the area of high pressure will bring a taste of spring to the province by mid-week.”
