Alright, Todd is here. Nicer weather
for February standards by the way,
he is here, so that's good.
So we'll take that.
What happened there?
The nicer weather front by
February standards is here.
Oh, oh I think you said here.
And I was
like, what did I do? I did something.
But I didn't just always
happen. Yeah, I'm always on the
defensive, I guess. Good reason.
Well, we're not with me.
With her. I protect you.
Ohh. I'm going this way.
I'm going this way.
I'm not coming back. All
right, we'll start with the temps.
It's 19 in Bangor dropping still too,
even though the sun is starting
to come up pre 7:00 AM.
Sunrise is now folks getting
these longer daylights.
Pretty nice to see.
20s along the coastline.
Real cold up in the county.
Holton is barely above 0,
so it's chilly now,
but this air is going to be marginally
cold for when this storm system arrives.
We're not going to get much snow out of it.
In fact, the low itself travels to our West
and we'll be on the warmer side of things.
Tapping some significant warmth
tomorrow could see some record
highs before that happens.
A little snow for the interior falls tonight.
Sunshine to start.
Clouds begin to work in.
Heads up for some refreezing yesterday.
Mild enough to do melting around the snow
banks and snow piles so some fresh ice,
black ice may be around them.
We're cloudy by the middle of the day.
No precipitation though.
Our temperatures rise above freezing,
which is key because this
evening as you're driving home,
there'll be some snow showers and rain.
8 hours working in,
but even where it's snowing,
the temp will be like 3637 degrees.
It's not going to stick on the road,
it'll just be wet for the ride home.
Deeper into the evening and
deeper into the interior.
Though when it gets a little more intense
and slightly colder after the sun goes down,
we will pick up accumulation and roads will
slush up after dark tonight and be slippery.
For some of you,
we'll pick up the story at the
most intense part,
this is around midnight tonight.
Heavier snow north of Bangor
and down to the coastline.
Heavier rain as winds will be off the water.
Temps will be around 40 all night long.
The good news is this is a quick hitter.
It's out of here by Daybreak tomorrow.
That gives crews plenty of time to
make those roads in tip top shape
for you as you hit them tomorrow
morning in places that it snows.
I don't think there'll be too
many problems tomorrow morning.
In fact,
tomorrow during the day with Little Sun,
we're going to make a run at some record.
Highs in the upper 40s to around 50
degrees and then it turns colder again
tomorrow evening and we'll have normal.
Winter cold this coming weekend.
Here's the snow map.
No accumulation.
Midcoast,
South Coast,
a little slush perhaps for down east areas.
Also in Lewiston and Augusta Bangor.
You're in a one to three right now,
but you've actually got to go up into the
elevations to get anything more significant.
Three to six for the western Maine Mountains,
for some of the Central Highlands,
and for far northern Maine.
And that 6 inch is probably coming
our way from far Northern Maine.
That looks like where we get the most,
where there really isn't
a change over to rain at
all. This weekend looks great.
Saturday sunshine in the 30s.
Sunday mostly sunny near 40,
keeping an eye to our S there'll be
a huge East Coast storm right now,
though it looks like it's going to
come close and just come up a little
short of us staying offshore on Monday,
but we'll obviously watch that
closely through the weekend.
Gale watches go into effect tonight.
They'll be up for tomorrow too,
as the winds pick up out of the
Southwest Seas 2 to 3 feet.
And today they start out into the
east and they end up out of the
South this afternoon at 10 to 20.
Thoughts increasing.
Clouds, rain and snow arrives this evening.
Not much in the way of accumulation.
Gone by tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow we developed some sun turns
warmer with a high near 50 weekend.
Awesome winter weather.
Have fun out there, folks.
Skiing, snowmobiling, sledding,
planning, playing some hockey.
Yeah, looking forward to this weekend,
should be great.
And then next week we'll be
around 40 degrees too.
If that storm misses us,
we could go through an extended stretch
with nothing major around here,
which I'm fine with.
Because that was a,
I was a little busy there.
Late January,
early Feb,
kind of perfect because it's not so
warm that it's going to cause too much
erosion of the snowpack. Yeah, great
point. We keep a lot of it. Yeah.
Everybody's got what they need.
So everybody's happy so far never
happens. Also true. Thank you.
