yellow warning - winter storm - in effect
Hazardous winter conditions are expected.
Locations: St. John's and vicinity, and southeast Avalon Peninsula.
Total snowfall: 15 to 25 cm.
Maximum wind gusts: northerly 70 km/h.
Time span: Sunday night until Monday morning.
Remarks: Snowfall rates of 2 to 4 cm per hour are possible, with locally higher amounts under heavier bands. Strong winds accompanying the snow will reduce visibility at times in blowing snow.
The exact track of the system remains unsure at this time so there is still considerable uncertainty as to where the heaviest snow will fall. But, the potential exists for significant accumulations over some locations.
