What You Should Do

To report severe weather, residents can email NLstorm@ec.gc.ca or post reports on X using the hashtag #NLwx.
Expected Conditions
Further rainfall of near 15 mm is expected, with the possibility of higher amounts in localized areas. Because of existing snowpack and frozen ground conditions, significant runoff is likely.
