Winter is officially a couple of days away but you wouldn’t know it with sunny skies and temperatures threatening to reach into double digits on the island, but it will be a different story tomorrow.

Saturday will be rainy and windy for most with winds gusting to 100 km/h in the morning before easing slightly to 60-70 in the afternoon.

The winds will again cut into Marine Atlantic’s attempts to make up for lost time in stormy weather the past few weeks. The corporation has added commercial crossings in an effort to get all the parcels and other goods across the gulf.

Rodney Barney, a meteorologist at the Gander Weather office, says it won’t be nearly as windy as earlier in the week but they have issued warnings and alerts.

Labrador will not go untouched, either.

The system will track up across Labrador, so a system that tracks that far west of the island will also mean warm temperatures for that part of the province, says Barney.
