a storm just north of Anticosti island will move across western
Labrador this afternoon. Heavy snow can be expected ahead and to
the west of the storm while strong winds are forecast in the wake
of it. The combination of strong winds and snow will also cause
blowing snow locally and reduced visibilities.
