Meteorologist Jason API is
back for his full forecast.
Jason, I think the good news is you you
said a few minutes ago it's warmer today.
Luckily it wasn't freezing rain because
it was pretty brutal out there. Yeah,
I mean, it's December and it's we're in
the 50s in Maine, no complaints, right?
I mean, we're saving the heating bill and
we're not dealing with any freezing rain,
any ice storms or anything like that.
So we'll take a look at the weather
headlines where high wind warnings
still up, that's down east,
they're not done yet with the storm much
cooler as we get into the day tomorrow,
30s for highs and it's another storm
next week, rain again in the forecast.
So we'll continue this inland track
situation where the rain is it pulling up
basically all the warm air from the South.
A highwind warning is up there.
It is down east up to 60 mile per hour
wind gusts which certainly could easily
cause a few power outages rain that.
Heavier batch.
I'll back up a second here.
It's, it's down east.
You see that here?
Washington County, Hancock as well,
showers up in the county too,
but there's a little break.
And then you have the rain in
the Oxford Hills back through
Fryberg and it's in New Hampshire.
It's a heavier batch here
moving through Conway.
So you're gonna get some issues
driving tonight out there.
Now look at these temps,
I mean 51 and Holton in early
December 54 in Lewiston.
So all this warm air here,
this warm front has.
Don north of us.
It's pulled everything up from the South,
so we're in the warm sector in between
a warm front and a cold front.
But knocking on the door is the
cold air in the Great Lakes.
So we will cool down tomorrow.
How about tonight though?
The rain is going to wrap up here.
Rockland 54 still seeing rain
8:00 o'clock as that rain pushes
east and then by after midnight
everyone clears out except for
some snow flurries and rangely.
This is not going to be enough
to help the the poor ski resorts.
Which just not getting a good
start to winter, not enough there,
but it will be cold enough tomorrow to
start to get the snow machines going.
So there's that positive,
the wind.
You see that here in Bar Harbor and
Callus 3837 through this evening and
then after about 10:00 o'clock is
when that highwind warning expires.
They could probably end it sooner.
It's not going to be much more
wind after 8:00 o'clock or so.
And then the wind is going to
shift out of the West.
Now rainfall not much more
about 1/10 of an inch or so.
Except for that pocket I showed you,
moving through the Conway
area with little backs there.
Now the rain tonight with the cold
front that's gonna just swing east of
us out into the Maritimes behind that.
As we get to Sunday,
watch this much cooler air around this
high slides in and we cool down into Sunday.
We don't really get out of the 30s
for most of us during the day Sunday.
So it's it's a different story.
It's much more you'd expect
this time of the year,
so the wind chills into the day.
Sunday are going to reflect that you
have to bundle up OK you're gonna go
out skiing and hopefully once again
they're doing the snow machines because
10 degrees in rangely, 10 in Greenville.
OK this is the middle of the
day while the sun is out.
Not as bad along the coast
but you get the idea.
It's going to be a lot colder.
Sees 3 to 7 feet Gale warning is still
up when NW 10 to 20 knots it's going
to subside tomorrow and then as we get
to the forecast next several days we
warm up again Monday and another storm.
Tuesday late into Wednesday with 50s or back
and then we cool down into Friday, Saturday.
But this is really starting
to get a little bonkers.
I'm not complaining,
I'm just stating what is happening.
But another inland track storm,
Sam, all the warm air gets
pulled up from the South.
Look at 52.
This isn't just a one day thing Sam.
I mean mid 40s is is above average
50s is well above average 40s and
then there are some signs that as we
get to the end of next week that.
I'm getting close to mid-december.
Temperatures come down a
bit but I don't buy it yet.
I just, I'm not buying a colder pattern.
So I hate to break the snow lovers
Howards but I gotta just say what I see
and it doesn't look all that good yet,
right. Especially looking at that
last seven day graphic, the low low
39 and like you said in December.
So we'll give you time.
We we have January,
we have February. I'm not saying
December is a wash but we got, we got time.
OK. Alright Jason, thank you.
