Residents of the Burin Peninsula should prepare for deteriorating conditions as a winter storm is set to move in Thursday evening. Snowfall will begin over southwestern Newfoundland before spreading to the southern Avalon late Thursday night.
As the system strengthens, increasing winds will lead to blowing snow, reducing visibility and making travel hazardous. Motorists are urged to exercise caution, allow for extra travel time, and be prepared for winter driving conditions.
The storm is expected to taper off from west to east on Friday afternoon and evening, gradually improving conditions. However, those with travel plans should remain alert to changing forecasts and any potential delays. It is also likely that more areas will be added to this warning as the system progresses.
Environment Canada advises the public to monitor weather alerts and forecasts for updates.
