Posted: March 18, 2024 7:16 amAn area of low pressure will track from the Gaspe Peninsula toward the Lower North Shore of Quebec today. Snow will fly to the north and east of the low’s track, which encompasses most of Newfoundland and Labrador. The snow will arrive on the Island this morning and end later this afternoon or this evening. Labrador will also see the snow arrive this morning. In many areas it will end later today, but on the coast the snow will continue through Tuesday.
As of 6:47 AM NDT, radar imagery shows snow has already arrived in southwestern Newfoundland and the South Coast and is moving to the north and northeast. This low pressure will not produce widespread heavy snowfall. Still, locally, there will be some significant amounts, particularly on the southwest coast, where a Snowfall Warning is currently up for the Channel-Port aux Basques area. On top of that, Wind Warnings are in effect from Gros Morne to Channel-Port aux Basques. Areas along the West Coast will see wind gusting to 100 km/h later today, and the Port aux Basques area will see Wreckhosue Winds gusting to 130 km/h at times today.

Ontario Government's Plan to Freeze Tuition Falls Short of Expert Panel's RecommendationsThe Ontario government's plan to freeze tuition for another three years and add more than $1-billion in funding for colleges and universities amounts to about half of what an expert panel it appointed said was needed to stabilize the finances of the province's postsecondary system. Minister of Colleges and Universities Jill Dunlop announced on Monday more than $900-million over three years in what the province is calling a sustainability fund, as well as about $400-million in new funding in other areas. The province also extended a tuition-fee freeze it brought in after a 10-per-cent cut to domestic tuition in 2019. 'I will not apologize for continuing to freeze tuition in this province,' Ms. Dunlop said at a news conference at Queen's Park. She said people are struggling with affordability and the government doesn't want to add to the burdens faced by students and their parents. Monday's announcement was a response to an expert panel on postsecondary finances convened by the province last March after the insolvency at Laurentian University in 2021

Weather Update: Rain and Snow Tonight, Improving Conditions for ThursdayThe cutoff low-pressure centre that has kept the weather very unsettled across the Island for most of this week finally drifts into the North Atlantic, away from the Province tonight. In its wake, we will see one more round of rain and wet snow tonight before the weather improves markedly for Thursday. What I mean by that is there will be no areas of significant precipitation. That being said, there will be some light snow in parts of Labrador West Thursday and Friday. Snowfall amounts should only total a few centimeters. Looking ahead to the rest of the week and the weekend, the weather across NL looks to remain quiet. The next chance of significant weather is early next week, and with that will come the chance for more rain and snow across much of the province.Eastern and central areas will see periods of wet snow or rain. Very little, if any, snow accumulation can be expected. The West Coast, Great Northern Peninsula and South Coast will be dry and mostly cloudy. I cannot rule out a scattered flurry.
