Radar is Showing quite the storm brewing: Rain, Wind, and Snow Swirling Across NL
It’s a wild scene out there on radar right now — a massive, tightly wound low spinning just south of Newfoundland, pulling in rain, wind, and even snow across different parts of the island.
🔹 You can clearly see the center of circulation, a powerful swirl sitting near the south coast — this is the heart of the system. Rain bands are wrapping around it like spokes on a wheel, with bright yellow and orange cores showing where the heaviest downpours are slamming into the Burin and Avalon Peninsulas.
🔹 Down toward Cape Breton, there’s a fierce red and orange streak — that’s the storm’s jet power zone, where upper-level winds are punching energy into the system. It’s fueling the whole thing, sending moisture and wind roaring northward into Newfoundland.
🔹 Over the interior, colder air is fighting its way in, and radar shows hints of mixed precipitation — likely wet snow or ice pellets near higher ground. But this system is mostly a rain-and-wind story right now, with gusts pushing near 100 km/h along exposed coasts and higher terrain.
🔹 Wave action looks intense too — with long fetch winds from the south creating large seas around the south and east coasts. Expect coastal spray, pounding surf, and possibly some minor flooding near high tide.
It’s the kind of system that shows up once or twice a year — a true Atlantic powerhouse.
You can see it breathing on radar — curling bands, near Cape Breton, and the cold side digging in from the west.
Be safe out there
