Our next #NLwx maker will be a strong Fall storm that moves over the island Tuesday into Wednesday.

Rainfall is likely in the 30-50mm+ range for most of the island.

West & central may see wet snow mixed in w/rain on Wednesday

Wind gusts will be near or in excess of 100 km/h, esp for coastal areas

This animation shows the wind core associated with Hurricane/Post-Tropical Storm Melissa. As long as we don't get a dramatic shift in the track, the hurricane-force gusts (120+ km/h) remain offshore. #nlwx
