Friday Morning Weather Brief — October 17, 2025
Good Friday morning!
We are waking up to showers and drizzle on the Island, along with some fog. St. John’s and Gander are both reporting visibility below 1 km this morning. The runways at both airports aren’t reporting low visibility, so for the time being, flight operations are likely not being significantly impacted by the reduced visibility.
While radar will not show the fog, it will show you where the showers are located at this early hour. There are a few floating around out there, but they’re not as dense as what we were dealing with yesterday morning. That being said, the air has a bit more moisture in it, so the drizzle (which radar doesn’t pick up that well) may be quite active in some areas along and near northeast-facing shores.
This morning’s update is sponsored by Roebothan, McKay, Marshall.

Today will see a little more fog and drizzle for parts of central and eastern Newfoundland, near and along the coastline. That will be particularly true this morning. There is the chance of a few sunny-ish breaks this afternoon as some slightly drier air is forecast to move in. Areas inland, west, and south will likely see sunshine today (like yesterday). Labrador looks generally similar to the Island, except the sun will be less widespread inland. Looks like Labrador West will be one of the few spots to see any today.
The reason Labrador will see less sun today is due to widespread light rain and showers. On the Island, we will have widespread showers, but not much in the way of rainfall today. Rainfall amounts through Labrador today will be in the 5 to 10 mm range, with the highest amounts on and near the coast. If we can squeeze out a couple of milliliters of rain on the Island, that would help a bit… but we need way more than that!
Rainfall total forecast from late Thursday evening (October 16, 2025) thru late Friday evening (October 17, 2025)
Tomorrow looks similar to today, except the next push of moisture and fog will be Saturday afternoon into Sunday morning. After that it does look like the weather pattern dries out a bit with less fog and drizzle and a bit more sunshine. Next week also looks dry, and a bit warmer, with perhaps some better rain chances later in the week. The 10-day temperature forecast for the Metro areas shows this well.
I’ll have my next update posted this afternoon!
