Some snow is on the way to Maine on Friday evening and overnight. Cold air then moves in for the weekend before more snow arrives Sunday night.
Overall, Friday will be cloudy and mild, with highs into the 30s for our region.
In far southern Maine, portions of York County, there may even be a little rain during the afternoon period.
The highest snow amounts for this storm will be in southern Maine, mostly York County and the New Hampshire seacoast.
There will be a sharp cut-off though, in which some in southern Maine will receive a few inches of snow, but farther north will likely see nothing at all.
Let’s get into the timing.
Rain will trickle into southern and coastal Maine about mid-afternoon as temperatures hang out in the 30s.
Snow builds in across northern New Hampshire.
We’re expecting a complete switchover to snow around 8 or 9 p.m. in Maine as temperatures drop to freezing.
This could lead to a messy late evening commute, especially in southern Maine.
The snow will continue overnight, wrapping up before dawn Saturday.
The rest of the weekend will be quiet but cold.
Our next weather-maker will be another round of light snow Sunday night. Keep reading for details on that.
The main weather story this weekend is once again, the frigid wind chills.
Saturday evening features wind chills into the negatives, well into the double digits for locations across the north.
If you think that’s cold, get ready for an even colder feel down by the coastline Sunday morning.
Air temps will start near zero in general then.
Sunday evening will see snow before changing over to both rain and snow Monday.
At this time, amounts look light, about 1-3 inches for most.
