Our “sunny blue skies” that we expected to see across the island today are “sunny white skies” as thick smoke aloft originating from forest fires in Saskatchewan & Manitoba has made its way over Newfoundland.
Shouldn’t pose any air quality issues, so still go and enjoy the summer-like day!! #NLwx

The power of wind direction always amazes me.
Cartwright Airport hit a high of 18.5°C today before a shift in wind direction from a westerly to a northerly caused the temperature to drop from 17.8°C to 5.5°C, a 12.3°C drop, in one hour!
Now at 3.9°C as of 4 P.M. ADT. #NLwx

Last full day in Cancún featuring mainly sunny skies, hot temperatures, and high dewpoints. Temperature of 29°C with a dewpoint of 22°C as of 10 am.
Really not looking forward to coming back to cloudy skies and single digit/negative temps 😭

I don’t know why the video of the radar loop processed so poorly, but here is a still image of the radar that doesn’t have the quality of being filmed on a potato #NLwx

Looks like the snow squall machine is on schedule.
If you’re going to be travelling on the TCH from Gallants to Robinsons, or through Black Duck Siding, Stephenville Crossing, or Kippens - be prepared for snow squalls with poor visibility. #NLwx #NLtraffic

I haven’t seen this amount of blue sky since Remembrance Day…that’s a long time.
However, in typical NL fashion, when one part of the island sees decent weather, there is likely another part that isn’t.
The West Coast will see onshore flurries persist until tomorrow morning. #NLwx

Looks like the Avalon and Burin Peninsulas are winning in weather today, with sunny breaks showing up around on webcams in the region.
Take advantage of it! The forecast for the upcoming week continues to look dreary 🌧️ #NLwx
