Show Notes
Maines interior braces for a severe winter storm, with sleet, snow, and freezing rain expected late Thursday into Friday. The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for most of the state and a full winter storm warning for northern Aroostook County. Forecasters predict 4-7 inches of snow, 1 inch of sleet, and up to a tenth of an inch of ice in the warning zone. Mixed precipitation will begin around 11 p.m. Thursday north of Bar Harbor, Augusta, and Fryeburg. Friday morning commutes may be hazardous due to slippery roads from ice buildup. Coastal areas may receive cold rain, but inland residents should watch for quick shifts to plain rain along Route 1 Down East. The system should taper off by Friday evening, but another round of showers is expected Saturday night, with northern areas risking more freezing precipitation and icy roads. Stay safe and check updates before traveling this weekend.
