It's been a busy day for meteorologist
Jason Nappy because Jason,
it is snowing right now over southern Maine,
which is great for all the pictures, but bad
for driving. Yeah, I'm right in the forecast,
but waking up tomorrow morning for
the rush hour commute is just going
to be a recipe for a disaster.
I mean, you get out there as black ice,
you don't see it, you go skidding here,
left, right. It's
been a while. Since we've drove
through these conditions back
since last winter, was it March or
time running around there?
You know, spring late?
In the winter time,
well how about this snow drought,
you know before the snow moved in
tonight Caribou 14 inches obviously
talking all kinds of snow tonight.
Bangor, one inch in Portland, a tree.
This is so far for the season.
So technically since July
we're didn't quite snow.
Now typically by now we're
about 20 in Caribou,
about 9 in Bangor and Portland
about 6:00 so it's about 6 inches.
Bangor about 8:00.
You see where we're below
where you typically be by now.
So just put some context into things.
As we talked about the next several days,
slippery travel tonight and
tomorrow with black ice,
light snow and rain midweek for some
of us and a wintry mess on Friday with
mountain snow and then rain at the coast.
So we'll break it down now
in the last couple of hours.
The loop here,
it's all southern Maine.
You notice here there's a cloud deck
that's clearing up in the county.
See that,
see that's coming down from the north.
So that's going to really
kick this out of here.
But there's definitely still
some snow going on on 95.
1295 watch out tonight and tomorrow
morning where the black ice will be
around because it's below freezing.
OK we got that's the recipe right there.
Below freezing the snow does begin to
melt when it hits the ground a bit.
So you've got problems if there's it's
a surface is not treated it's dry up
north snow down South and here it is.
It's moving into the Oxford Hills.
S SW interior a weakening low pressure
is going to kind of scoot off the coast
and then get out of here snow midnight here.
Mid Coast and southern coast.
And then by 8:00 o'clock in the morning.
Watch it is sunshine.
We're all clear.
That will help to get you going tomorrow.
Back to work in the afternoon.
All clear temperatures still about 10 degrees
below average though with that north wind.
How much more snow tonight?
Basically a coating that.
That's it.
Here's the storm.
This is the storm Saturday morning,
low pressure hugging the coast.
That would mean rain along the coast,
a little mixture of going
on inland and then snow.
As you head up north,
so we'll see how this rain snow
line starts to go into the Friday,
Saturday time frame and
keep checking back in.
You have chief meteorologist Todd Gutner
here tomorrow morning at 4:30 to get
you updated sees 5 to 6 feet when N 15 to 20.
And here's the forecast the next seven days.
Here's the best information I have before
Todd can get in and look at some more data.
And right now I'm going
to go light rain and snow.
This is not a big deal.
Tuesday,
Wednesday inland.
And then there's the.
Big one Friday,
Saturday potentially with the
wintry mix now at the coast,
it's a different story, Sam.
It's 30s to to 40s dry until Thursday
after we get this snow out of here tonight.
And then there's that big storm
could be a more of a coastal storm,
which we know around here
this time of the year.
The ocean is still in the around 40,
so you're bringing in an
ocean temperature of 40,
which is clearly above freezing
and that's why you'd have rain
at the coast and you'd have snow
inland in the mountains and.
How to break it all down tomorrow?
Alright. And obviously a lot of time before
matter between now and next weekend,
so we'll have to wait and see.
But Full disclosure, I did go home
because I was wearing sneakers earlier.
How to change into the bean
boots for my walk home.
Can't do that in sneakers.
Love it. It's Bean boot season.
Alright, Jason, thank you.
