Alert Details
Environment Canada has issued an orange rainfall warning for the south coast. This alert indicates that significant impacts are expected due to heavy rainfall amounts following a transition from wintry precipitation.
Affected Areas
The warning is specifically in effect for the following locations:
- Burgeo - Ramea
What You Should Do
Residents are urged to monitor local conditions as rapid runoff is expected. Residents in low-lying locations or areas with poor drainage should be prepared for potential basement flooding. Environment Canada recommends monitoring ongoing updates and reporting severe weather via email at NLstorm@ec.gc.ca or on X using the hashtag #NLwx.
Expected Conditions
Total rainfall accumulations are forecast to reach 60 to 90 mm, with higher amounts possible locally. Rainfall rates may reach 5 to 10 mm per hour in some locations.
Because the ground remains frozen or saturated and snowpack is present, significant runoff is likely. This may cause:
- Creeks and rivers to rise quickly, potentially exceeding banks
- Erosion along road shoulders and small washouts
- Flooding in areas where water cannot be absorbed or drained
Timeline
Precipitation will begin as snow before transitioning to a brief period of ice pellets and freezing rain tonight. The system is expected to change to rain by noon Thursday, with heavy rainfall continuing through Friday afternoon.
