Eddie's Forecast: expect some boomers Friday night and Saturday morning across the Island
An area of low pressure swirling through the Maritime Provinces this evening will work its way toward, and over, Newfoundland late tonight and Saturday morning. The track of this will drive heavy rain, with embedded thunderstorms across a large part of the Island later tonight into Saturday morning. The most intense storms will be found over a large part of the Island from near Bay St. George to the Avalon, with storms possible anywhere south of the Great Northern Peninsula.
On the Avalon, the timeline looks to be between 3 and 7 AM for the storms. Areas to the west will likely see that threat in a similar timeline, perhaps a bit earlier. The rain will also work into southeast Labrador Saturday, and become heavy at times. The rain will taper to shower Saturday night.
