ST. JOHN'S: Dry for now, but moisture returns midweek

Updated: 7 minutes ago

The northern edge of what’s left of post-tropical cyclone Nestor is brushing by with high-level clouds; meanwhile, a lovely high-pressure system to our west is pushing dry air and sunshine into our region. The fair weather will linger until midweek at which time a weather system will come through with 20-30 mm of rain, strong southeasterly winds and a risk of thunderstorms.
