All of Newfoundland and the southern coast of Labrador are under weather warnings from Environment Canada. Much of the island faces rainfall warnings, while freezing rain warnings are in effect for Bay of Exploits, Bonavista North, Buchans, Corner Brook, Gander and Grand Falls-Windsor. Environment Canada meteorologist Justin Boudreau says the island can expect to see around 30 to 60 millimetres of freezing rain over the course of the weekend. Much of the west coast is reporting periods of freezing rain and near-freezing temperatures late Saturday morning, which has led to messy driving conditions. Grand Falls-Windsor Fire Chief Vince MacKenzie told CBC News Saturday afternoon that it's important to be prepared for an outage as freezing rain continues throughout Saturday.
