BANGOR, Maine (WABI) - Low pressure passing offshore is combining with some energy aloft to bring us some clouds and some light snow and snow showers this morning with the bulk of the light snow falling across southern and western parts of the state. Accumulations of a coating to 1″ will be possible in most locales with as much as 1″-3″ possible for areas south and west of Bangor. Temperatures will climb into the upper 20s to mid-30s for highs this afternoon. The risk of flurries or snow showers will continue on Thursday as a trough of low pressure aloft remains nearby.
A pool of bitter arctic air currently building over northwestern Canada will slide southeast into New England beginning Friday and then continue across our region Saturday and likely Sunday as well. An upper-level storm associated with the pool of arctic air will swing southeast across Maine Thursday night and Friday morning. The pool of cold air associated with the storm aloft will likely bring scattered snow showers and possible heavier snow squalls to the Pine Tree State later Thursday night through part of Friday. Some of the heavier snow showers and snow squalls may lead to brief whiteout conditions leading to slick roads as some spots could pick up a quick coating to maybe as much as 2″ of snow over a short period of time. The high temps both Friday and Saturday will likely hold in the single numbers north and teens to lower 20s south, with a gusty northwest breeze likely driving the wind chill values below zero much of the time.
High pressure will bring Maine a bright, less blustery and somewhat milder day Sunday as it crosses the Northeast. At this point in time, it appears that a storm system may impact Maine and the rest of New England during the early to middle part of next week. It currently looks like the precipitation associated with the storm would be in the form of snow as the storm track would likely remain just to our east, which would keep Maine on the colder side of the storm.
Today: Mostly cloudy, areas of light snow and snow showers likely mainly during the morning. High temps in the upper 20s to mid-30s. North/northeast wind 5-10 MPH.
Thursday: Variably cloudy, few snow showers possible, with a northwest breeze between 6 and 12 mph and high temps in the upper 20s to mid-30s.
Friday: Mostly cloudy, areas of light snow and snow showers possible especially during the morning. Breezy and cold, with high temps in the teens to lower 20s.
