Public Advisory: Adverse Weather Conditions Anticipated
The Provincial Government is monitoring forecast information on a weather system that is anticipated to affect several regions of the province over the coming days (January 4-6).
This storm is expected to bring a combination of strong gusty winds, rainfall and snowfall, along with higher-than-normal water levels to parts of the northeast coast on Sunday. There is a moderate probability of localized low-level flooding along coastal areas from Ferryland to Cape Freels on the eastern and northeastern coastline.
Heaviest snowfall is most likely to occur over Newfoundland areas late Saturday night and/or during the day Sunday, while heaviest snowfall is most likely in southeastern Labrador from later in the day Sunday until Monday (January 6). Visibility will be poor at times in heavy snow, strong winds and occasional blowing snow.
Residents are encouraged to monitor the forecast from Environment Canada for the most up-to-date information.
Similar storms in the past have caused localized low-level coastal flooding, travel disruptions, isolated power outages and wind damage. Residents are asked to take steps to ensure their own personal safety. Homeowners should secure loose items around their properties (Christmas décor and lights), ensure sump pumps are in working order, and safeguard important documents.
Motorists are reminded to check driving condition reports via the NL511 mobile app, nl511.ca or call 511. Always drive according to the conditions in your area, and never cross floodwaters on foot or in a vehicle as the water may be deeper than it looks.
Visit Be Prepared for more information on emergency preparedness.
Town crew are currently repairing a water main leak on Chapel Hill.
Residents in the area may experience water service interruptions while the repair work is being completed.
Please reduce speed in the area and obey flagspersons on site.
