Monday Morning Weather Update — December 22, 2025
Good Monday morning!
We are waking up to an area of low pressure east of Labrador and north of Newfoundland, and its attendant cold front is located between Bonavista and Burin, bringing rain to the Avalon Peninsula and some adjacent areas just to the west. The rain is not overly heavy and is moving eastward fairly quickly. In fact, any remaining showers will be done on the Avalon by 10 AM.
Behind the front, temperatures are cooler than ahead of it. For instance, as of 5:30 AM NST, it was about 6º in St. John’s, while Corner Brook was -1º and Rocky Harbour was -4º. Readings in Labrador are into the minus teens and minus 20s. That cold air is moving eastward, so eastern areas of the Island are currently as warm as we expect today. Temperatures will generally fall to near ro below freezing through the day.
Outside of the rain this morning, there will not be much active weather across the Province today. Expect a few flurries on and near Newfoundland’s West Coast and generally a mix of sun and cloud elsewhere. There also may be some flurries that develop over northern areas of the Avalon Peninsula, the Bonavista Peninsula, and the northeast coast this afternoon and evening.

Tuesday will see an area of high pressure building into Labrador and an area of low pressure east of the Province. While the low will directly impact the weather, the proximity of the two elements will bring some breezy conditions and enhance flurries along most north-facing shorelines of Labrador and Newfoundland. While I don’t expect these flurries to be heavy, some areas will see a few centimeters of snow throughout the day, and that happening in the Metro area and Avalon North is certainly a possibility. The flurries will get less active and widespread throughout the day.
CHRISTMAS EVE, CHRISTMAS DAY, AND BOXING DAY NOTES
Christmas Eve: No major weather events across NL, or Atlantic Canada for that matter.
Christmas Day: Snow likely over eastern areas by before sunrise, central/northeast in the morning, and eventually the Northern Peninsula and southeast Labrador late in the day.
Start time looks to be around 1 to 3 AM on the Avalon, and later in the morning, farther west it will be later.
Snowfall amounts across much of the area will be significant (15+ cm), and travel will be difficult due to snow and wind that create areas of blowing snow.
Details get clearer over the next day or two.
Boxing Day
There is the potential of a second low bringing more heavy snowfall to much of the Island between mid-morning Friday and Sunday, and Labrador between later Friday and Sunday.
While there is much uncertainty with this system (far more than Christmas Day’s), if it does happen, it would be another round of heavy snowfall due to the cold nature of the air west of the low, and its slow movement.
Details will be cleared up in the next day or two.
