CHANNEL-PORT AUX BASQUES – Environment Canada is warning residents in the Channel-Port aux Basques, N.L., area to prepare for hazardous winter conditions.
The weather agency has issued a winter storm warning for the region, and is calling for up to 25 centimetres of snow to fall throughout the day Sunday until about midnight.
The fresh snow combined with strong southeasterly winds are expected to significantly reduce visibility.

Environment Canada says residents should consider postponing non-essential travel because it’s likely weather may change quickly and driving conditions could deteriorate abruptly.
It says wind speeds of 60 kilometres an hour are expected, except in the Wreckhouse area where wind gusts may hit 80 kilometres per hour.
Meanwhile, the weather agency has also issued a warning about extreme southeasterly winds, known as known as Les Suêtes, for the Inverness County and Mabou region of Cape Breton, N.S.
Wind gusts may reach 90 kilometres an hour Sunday evening between Margaree Harbour to Bay Lawrence, which may cause damage as loose objects are tossed around by the wind.
