From snow, to high winds, to extreme cold, much of Canada is under a severe weather alert this weekend.

Here's what to expect in your region:

Newfoundland and Labrador

The southeastern tip of Labrador and the entirety of Newfoundland's coast are under at least one weather alert as of Sunday morning, with warnings for wind, rainfall and winter storms blanketing much of the island.

The area of Labrador from Norman Bay to Lodge Bay is under a winter storm warning. Environment and Climate Change Canada is cautioning snowfall may reach up to 25 centimetres in inland and higher terrain, with wind gusts of up to 80 km/h for much of the area and up to 100 km/h among the Labrador Straits, active to varying degrees by region from Sunday evening into Monday.

In Newfoundland, overlapping warnings are in effect across the island. In the north, a winter storm warning is listing snowfall of between 20 and 30 centimetres and gusts of up to 100 km/h from Sunday morning to Monday. Wind warnings cover the northwest and southeastern portion of the province, with gusts reaching closer to 120 km/h near the eastern coast. The eastern tip of the island is also subject to a rainfall warning of 30 to 50 millimetres, expected to continue until Sunday night.

A special weather statement in Newfoundland's southwest corner lists snowfall of five to 10 centimetres, with more possible in higher terrain.

Environment Canada warns blowing snow may cause near-zero visibility and endanger travellers, who are advised to consider postponing nonessential travel.

In addition, flooding warnings are in place along the Atlantic coast, with higher than normal water levels and very large waves. Those in the area should beware of flooding as well as coastal erosion. Affected seaside areas should be avoided.

The Maritimes

A winter storm warning is in effect for western Cape Breton Island, with snowfall between 20 and 35 centimetres, reaching up to 90 centimetres in the highlands. Wind gusts could reach 90 km/h, the Environment Canada warning reads.

A special weather statement is active for the remainder of Cape Breton Island and parts of northern mainland Nova Scotia, with five to 10 centimetres of snow expected and wind gusts of between 70 and 90 km/h. A wind warning is also active in eastern Cape Breton.

Prince Edward Island carries a similar weather statement covering Sunday into Monday, with five to 10 centimetres of snow and 70 km/h wind gusts expected for the Charlottetown region. Further in the province’s east, conditions will be slightly more severe, with snowfall near 15 centimetres and 80 km/h gusts.

The Magdalen Islands, located north of PEI and west of Cape Breton's north coast, is under a separate weather warning, carrying expected snowfall of 15 to 25 centimetres of snowfall and 80 km/h gusts.
