Basically, if you’ve lived in Newfoundland for more than five minutes, you know the sky has a mind of its own. Right now, Corner Brook is sitting at a crisp 24°F. The air is heavy with a 95% humidity level that makes that cold stick to your bones, and honestly, the light snow showers currently falling are just the opening act.
There’s a weird stillness tonight. Wind is barely moving out of the east at 2 mph. But don't let the quiet fool you. This is the calm before a legitimate wallop.
The Immediate Corner Brook Weather Forecast
Sunday is looking like a total mess. We’re starting with standard snow showers during the day with a high of 30°F, but the real story is Sunday night. A heavy snow storm is slated to move in. We are looking at a 75% chance of snow overnight, and the temperature is going to dip to 21°F. If you have to be on the TCH or heading up toward Marble Mountain, maybe don't.
Monday doesn't offer much of a break either. The high hits 31°F, which is basically the freezing mark, meaning the snow is going to be that heavy, wet heart-attack-on-a-shovel kind.
The wind is picking up too. By Monday, it’s coming from the north at 13 mph, which is going to make that 75% chance of daytime snow feel a lot more aggressive than it looks on paper.

What to Expect This Week
It’s a rollercoaster. No other way to put it.
- Tuesday: The temperature drops to a high of 27°F and a low of 13°F. We keep the snow showers, though the chance drops to 35%.
- Wednesday: This is the coldest day on the horizon. We’re looking at a high of only 14°F and a low of 12°F. Plus, the wind is cranking up to 20 mph from the west.
- Thursday: A slight "warm-up" to 25°F, but the snow chance jumps back up to 45%.
Why Corner Brook Weather Is Such a Wildcard
Kinda funny how people think all of Newfoundland is just one big fog bank. Corner Brook is different. Because we’re tucked into the Bay of Islands and surrounded by the Long Range Mountains, we get "terrain-enhanced" weather.
Basically, the air hits those hills, rises, cools, and dumps snow specifically on us. While St. John’s is dealing with that miserable freezing rain and "slun" (that slushy rain mix), Corner Brook usually stays cold enough to keep the snow as actual snow.
That sounds better until you’re on your third hour of clearing the driveway.
According to historical data from Environment Canada, January is officially our cloudiest month. We only get about 5.1 hours of clear or sunny skies a day. The rest of the time? Overcast. Usually 85% to 87% of the month is just gray. It’s a mood.

The 2026 Winter Context
This isn't just a "typical" winter. We’ve seen some pretty extreme swings lately. Just a few years ago, in 2025, January saw a massive 308 mm of precipitation. Compare that to the historical average of around 132 mm, and you realize why the local snowmobile trails have been such a nightmare to maintain lately.
The unpredictability is the only thing you can actually count on.
One day you're in a light coat because it’s 35°F, and the next, a clipper system moves through and you’re buried under 15 cm of fresh powder with a wind chill that’ll numb your face in seconds.
Actionable Advice for the Next 48 Hours
Look, if you're in town, here is the move. Get the snowblower gassed up tonight. That Sunday night storm isn't a joke, and with the high humidity, that snow is going to be incredibly dense.

- Check the TCH reports: Western Newfoundland is famous for whiteouts near the Wreckhouse, but even the stretch between Corner Brook and Deer Lake gets dicey fast when the west wind hits 20 mph.
- Layer up for Wednesday: With a high of 14°F and high winds, exposed skin is a bad idea.
- Watch the "Feel Like" temps: The raw temperature might say 30°F, but with 93% humidity on Monday, it’s going to feel significantly colder.
Stay off the roads Sunday night if you can. The visibility is going to be garbage once that heavy snow starts.
The Corner Brook weather forecast for the rest of the month suggests we stay in this "snow shower" pattern for at least another ten days. We aren't seeing a major thaw anytime soon, so what lands now is likely staying until April.
