Another winter storm is on its way to much of eastern Newfoundland and is expected to start on Tuesday night and last until Wednesday night.
Between 15 to 25 centimetres of snow is expected for the Avalon Peninsula, areas around Bonavista Bay, Trinity Bay and Placentia Bay, and as far west as Gambo, Hare Bay and St. Brendan’s.
Winds could potentially gust up to 100 km/h along parts of the coast, and northwesterly winds are generally expected to gust anywhere between 60 and 80 km/h.
Environment Canada has issued special weather statements ahead of the storm.

Snow is expected to be “wet and heavy,” with temperatures hovering near freezing.
People planning on travelling should consider adjusting their plans, Environment Canada says, as it is warning of slippery, difficult-to-navigate roads caused by snow accumulation.
