Tomorrow is going to be one blustery, cold day for most of the island and parts of Labrador as an Arctic airmass moves through the region.
Mitts and hats will be in order virtually everywhere with high winds on the island and wind chills in the -30 range; add in some snow for good measure.
Newfoundland has wind, extreme cold and winter storm warnings, along with a snow squall watch. While, Labrador has extreme cold, blizzard and snowfall warnings in addition to a blowing snow advisory.
It’s also going to be a messy afternoon commute today according to Justin Boudreau, a meteorologist with the Environment Canada, with light rain in the forecast for a few hours late this afternoon. All the water will cause slick conditions as the temperature drops from -1 one to -10 overnight.

Labrador will be uncharacteristically windy tomorrow with an all-out blizzard in the works for the north coast. They could get 60-80+ cm of snow with winds gusting to 130+ km/h, creating zero visibility. Environment Canada says it’s not recommending travel during the storm.
⚠️Frigid temps are dangerous for pets despite their fur coats. High winds & snow add to the danger. Senior, young or infirm pets & cats/small dogs are especially vulnerable. Keep pets warm & protected & don't keep them outside or in parked cars for extended periods. #nlwx #GovNL pic.twitter.com/sbjR7MIhxM
