Gander Meteorologist

Here we are above the zero degree mark with no snow on December 3.

This has a lot of residents fearing a similar winter to last year’s mild season.

Herb Thoms is a Meteorologist with Environment Canada in Gander.

He says Labradorians can expect the warm weather for a little while longer.

A high pressure system lingering over the province is the cause of the mild temperatures.

Thoms is expecting a low pressure system to move in soon.

And with the system comes cooler temperatures.

Thoms adds that looking at the seasonal forecast for the months of December, January and February, we can expect above normal temperatures for Newfoundland and Labrador.

Lower amounts of snow are also being predicted.
