Snowy Wednesday in Maine causes tricky travel conditions, more snow on tap later this week
PORTLAND (WGME)— Snow will taper off by Wednesday afternoon with a few lingering snow showers or squalls in Maine.
An active pattern continues with more snowfall chances through the weekend.
Steady snow will give way to a few lingering snow showers or squalls Wednesday afternoon.
Highs will range from near 40 in southern Maine to 20s across central and northern Maine.
Bitter cold is back for Thursday.
Highs will only be in the teens with sunny skies and breezy winds.
Our next storm likely arrives on Friday afternoon.
There is still considerable uncertainty with this forecast, but at this point it looks like mostly snow with possibly some rain mixing in in far southern Maine.
Snow and possibly some rain will continue into Friday night, wrapping up very early on Saturday.
Cold air is then back for Saturday with highs in the teens or low 20s under sunny skies.
Sunday will start out quiet, but will turn more active for the afternoon and evening.
Another round of snowfall is looking likely into Sunday night, but overall amounts look light at this time.
Due to a milder Monday, if precipitation persists into the day it would likely change to rain. However, most precipitation will likely fall Sunday night as all snow.
As a winter storm swept through Maine on Wednesday, blanketing the state with several inches of snow, travel conditions became treacherous for commuters and residents alike. The heavy snowfall led to slick roads, reduced visibility, and numerous accidents reported on major highways.
The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory for much of the state, warning of hazardous travel conditions and urging residents to exercise caution while driving. Snow plows worked tirelessly to clear the roads, but the steady snowfall made it challenging to keep up with the accumulation.
Despite the challenges posed by the storm, Maine residents are no strangers to winter weather, and many were prepared with snow tires, shovels, and warm clothing. Schools and businesses remained open, but some opted to close early or allow employees to work from home to avoid the hazardous conditions.
The winter weather is far from over, as forecasters predict another round of snow later this week. Residents are advised to stay updated on weather alerts and be prepared for more winter weather in the days to come. Stay safe and stay warm, Maine!
