Environment Canada’s Mike Vandenberg says the forecast continues to call for a very unsettling next day or so.
He says most of the heavy rain will be confined to the island while the snowfall will be reserved for the Northern Peninsula and Labrador.
Things are expected to calm down and improve late Sunday into Monday morning.
