Tropical Cyclone Info Statement from CHC on Subtropical Storm Josephine: weather.gc.ca/hurricane/st....

Judging by the temperature outlook, it appears we're entering the next phase of fall. After tomorrow most of #NLwx will struggle to hit 10°C for a few days. Western Labrador may barely climb above freezing early next week, with lows nearing -10°C (on Canadian guidance, anyway)!

Bit of wet snow flying in parts of interior Labrador. Slushy coating on the shoulder at Cache River, with temperature 0.7°C at 12 noon. 511nl.ca/cctv?start=0... #nlwx

A few spots flirted with the freezing mark on the Avalon overnight, amid a wide range of lows. Most are already beginning to warm back up. #nlwx

Brief report of mixed snow/rain at Wabush Airport earlier, the first of the season. No accumulation there so far, but it's starting to stick just across the border in nearby Fermont. ❄️ www.stormpost.com/cams_nl.pl #nlwx

Much drier today after yesterday's rain. Heaviest totals occurred along the south coast of the island, as well as near the Strait of Belle Isle. #nlwx

There it is: evidence of fresh snow in the Torngat Mountains. ❄️ Shows up unmistakably in MODIS imagery when comparing the last clear day (Sep 5) with today (Sep 12). worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov?v=-67.979642... #nlwx

One of the local stories of 9/11 was how hot it became aboard the diverted planes, with no A/C and thousands of passengers unable to disembark for 24+ hours. #NLwx was in the midst of an unseasonably warm stretch for September, driven by an upper ridge dominating the North Atlantic.

A dose of wintry precipitation showing up in the guidance for the Torngat Mountains tonight, and a bit of a sloppy mix possible in the higher portions of the Mealy Mountains tomorrow night. ❄️ #nlwx

Some cool lows this morning on the island ahead of the incoming weather system. Minimum 0.3°C at Badger marked the lowest temperature at the location since July 6. Deer Lake #YDF 0.7°C coldest since June 13. St. John's #YYT 4.4°C coldest since June 26. #nlwx

Cold morning in parts of Labrador. 🥶 Wabush #YWK bottomed out at -2.8°C, its lowest temperature since May 24. Cartwright's -1.5°C marked its first freeze since June 12, and coldest reading since June 11. #nlwx

Sunny Tuesday morning at Cape Ray! #nlwx

Interesting weekend to be in Cape Breton; lots of flooding in River Bourgeois after 150-200+ mm of rain. Washouts and road closures in serval locations. #nsstorm. Some of this en route to #nlwx (though will lose a good bit of its punch).

Sunny and wind-free in Channel-Port aux Basques! #nlwx
