A backing low puts us back in our winter coats
Thanks to a blocking high over Greenland, a stalled rainmaker off the Avalon can't push off to the east. As the system rolls back towards the maritime provinces, it is raining itself out; rainfall totals will not be excessive. However, the raw northeasterly wind won't be pleasant, making it feel more like early March. → Read More

GRANDMA SAYS: A prognosticating cat is nothing to sneeze at.

Northern New Brunswick will be the sunniest and warmest corner of the region this weekend, with temperatures in the mid-teens.

CINDY DAY: Our Easter guest won't go!
While it's true that the sun is always shining above the clouds, it's nice to see it beaming down on us for a change. The rain and ice storm that moved through last weekend is almost stationary and now sits 900 km southwest of → Read More

A stubborn system is set to stall south of the Avalon.
It's a tale of two forecasts this weekend. While Maritimers enjoy more sunshine than we've had in a while, eastern Newfoundland will experience rain, then snow, followed by more rain. As far as the wind goes, Mother Nature is not playing favourites - expect a raw north to northeasterly wind for days to come. → Read More
CINDY DAY: Uncorking the weather
Last Wednesday, before all that rain rolled in, a co-worker of mine remarked that it was a “corker of a day.” I have heard the expression a few times, but it’s not one I grew up with, so I looked it up. The first → Read More

…and the north wind doth blow.
It's been a very long time since I've seen such a persistent wind pattern. The far-reaching counter clockwise circulation around the stalled but weakening area of low-pressure east of Bermuda continues to serve up a raw north to northeast wind. Find out when that pattern will break and what's in store for the weekend here. → Read More
