Maine residents wake up to bitter cold this Tuesday morning. Temperatures started in the single digits or even below zero across the state. Sunshine fades as clouds gather later in the day. High temperatures struggle to reach the middle 20s. A weather system approaches by evening. This brings light snow to the region overnight. Most towns will see a coating to one inch of accumulation. Coastal areas might receive slightly more.
Conditions change on Wednesday. Another round of precipitation moves in during the afternoon. It begins as snow but milder air quickly turns it to rain along the coast. Inland areas and mountains stay snowy for longer. Northern Maine could see significant snowfall totals. Winds increase with this system.
Thursday brings clearing skies and gusty winds. Colder air rushes back into the state. Highs drop into the 30s and 20s. Friday stays cold with plenty of sunshine. The weekend outlook remains chilly but mostly quiet. People should prepare for slick roads Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.
