Might be a lost message with all the attention (rightfully) on areas west... but apart from the steady wind, much of the *eastern half* of Newfoundland looks not-half-bad for a good chunk of the day tomorrow. Dry slot to bring sunshine and temperatures in the low 20s.

In some light news, this evening will feature the last sunset before 8pm at St. John's until August 23.
Try not to overindulge in the abundant evening brightness. 😎

So basically the playbook is thaw everything out, freeze it all solid, and then set it on spin until... spring? 🥴

Could be a while before a list of temperatures top these, but only time will tell.
The 35.4°C at Terra Nova not only ties its all-time local record, it marks the warmest ever recorded during June at any official

MODIS view of the island today (left) compared to same date last year (right).
Much less sea ice this year. Also, a lot more bare ground already visible.

One week ago, multiple models were showing a potent storm grazing eastern Nfld today.
Satellite shows a storm is forming, but >700 km offshore, and staying away.
Serves as good reminder that model error cam be quite large at the 7-day range, even when consensus is strong!

Quick scan around the neighbourhood. Side street definitely hasn't seen a plow. Snow does seem to be easing though.

A 1-hour pressure drop of 22.4 mb at Banquereau Bank Buoy, from 984.4 to 962.0 between 7:30-8:30 pm NDT. Wind shift from ESE gusting 56 kts (104 km/h) to SSW gusting 60 kts (111 km/h).
Eye probably rapidly passed quite close to the buoy given the pressure readings!

Most of our airplane views of St. John's have been on descent or takeoff; pretty neat to see the perspective from 41,000 feet! View looking east with Trinity Bay in the foreground. Some clear

on Sunday when captured!
Another amazing vista of the

. An exceptionally clear evening and I had an opportunity to reminisce about my visits to
#Newfoundland
with the RAF. Always so much fun, even in the winter.

It's now been a month (wow?) since the onslaught of snow began on Christmas Eve in the east.
During the same time, a relative snow drought in Labrador.
The numbers show the contrasts resulting from the persistent southerly storm track.

The pressure in
#Fiona
is down to 928 mb according to aircraft data.
No hurricane has ever made landfall with such a low pressure north of Florida since 1851. That shows how intense the storm is - truly once in a lifetime.

Skies have cleared out nicely over St. John's in time for the sun to set before 5pm for the final time this season.
After this one, no more pre-5pm sunsets until November 3. ☀️

Look! Winds are about to turn to the SW. For first time in 25 days! 😮
Oh... it's because a low is forming 😞
At least it signals a break in the atmospheric stalemate! 🤣
