Alright, so Todd has been super
busy in the weather office lately.
It's been storm and then
a break, then a storm.
Right now this is cruise control
Todd for at least for the next few days.
Yeah, everything is kind of chill.
Very laid back and then you can
get busy again. Next feed up.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Let's not let's not even think
about that right now.
Let's just enjoy.
This is like this is
like my winter recess,
you know, I'm
quick. Look at snowfall this month and
we've had a storm or two in Portland,
but it hasn't amounted to a lot of snow.
This was mostly sleet actually,
which gets classified in the Snow department,
so we're below the pace there below average.
But in Bangor, we've had a lot of it,
and in northern Maine we've had
a lot of it in the mountains.
We've had a lot of it,
so I guess the point of this story
is this weekend should be pretty fun.
If you want to travel up
north and do some skiing,
or do some snowmobile mobile ING,
or you know some cross country
skiing things like that,
the landscape looks good right now.
Got a little snow on the map
coming in from the West.
It's a cold front.
Don't expect to get much,
but the mountains may pick up some minor
accumulation, maybe an inch or two.
Next 24 hours temps.
That's a bigger story this morning.
Once again,
they've dipped through the night
and we're getting re freezing,
so there may be need to be a
little treatment out there,
or some salt or sand for traction.
There's the front off to our West.
This will sweep in this afternoon,
and that's basically what our chance
for a rain or snow shower is.
We'll see skies cloud up this morning.
Watch out for black ice,
little slippery out midday a
few flakes up in the mountains.
Otherwise cloudy skies with the
temperatures responding back up
through the 30s and then there you go.
This evening we'll get a quick rain shower.
Could be briefly intense and in
the mountains where it's colder
those will be snow showers and
those also could be intense.
Kind of like snow squalls.
A quick little white out.
And they drop accumulation
in roads get slick,
so be careful.
If you live up in the mountain
towns highs today reach the lower 40s.
Not too bad for Lewiston and Augusta hitting
43 in Bangor and Portland and Wiscasset.
42 up north and in the mountains will
actually soften things up a little bit.
We won't really lose any snow though.
Without sunshine,
and you know temperatures that
are close to the freezing mark,
it's not going to melt much
down in York County.
We're looking at highs in
the mid 40s this afternoon.
Tomorrow looks very nice back to sunshine.
With high pressure building
back in and then on Saturday,
a second front comes in with a brief shower.
Possible once again,
mild air preceding it hitting the mid 40s.
This one will be able to unfortunately
knock the warmth out of here and
replacing it is going to be another
blast of Arctic air from Sunday through.
Looks like Wednesday morning of next week,
that's an extended stretch
of very cold temperatures.
Still eyeing this storm that'll be
forming off the southeastern US.
And I still think at the moment
it appears to stay South of us.
It could be a close call,
so again, not pulling it
completely out of the forecast.
But right now that storm
appears to stay South.
Small crafts are up seas 4 to 6 SW,
winds will be gusty are this afternoon,
so we'll have mostly cloudy skies.
Couple of rain, showers around,
snow showers up in the mountains, highs
in the lower 40s tomorrow looks very nice.
Mostly sunny, Lower 40s again and it
will actually be warmer on Saturday.
We're going to hit the mid 40s.
They'll be melting and mostly cloudy skies,
only to see those temperatures sharply
drop on Sunday with highs in the mid
20s and even colder early next week.
We'll keep an eye on that offshore
storm if it were to give us anything
like flurries or snow showers.
It's probably Sunday night into
Monday morning and then we'll
clear out in the afternoon.
Might see another round of flurries
before we start getting moderating
temperatures to return Wednesday afternoon,
but a little cold
early next week. Again.
Yeah, our warm front needs
a new defensive coordinator.
Because if the cold front is coming,
you gotta play defense.
You knock it back.
The other right get get into the cover too.
It's all I'm saying, yeah,
right cover two will never
fail and never done.
Can't beat it, thanks.
