Maine weather update for midday

Maine weather update for midday

Good afternoon. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. Spring just showed up early for a test drive. Step outside right now and you're already feeling mid-40s. By this afternoon? We're hitting 57 degrees across most of the state — that's 17 degrees warmer than normal for early March. Not complaining. Down in Portland, you've got some patchy fog and drizzle wrapping up by mid-morning. Then partly sunny skies take over with a high near 54. Southwest winds gust to 25 miles an hour — enough to remind you it's still March. Central Maine sees similar action — Augusta and Waterville hit 57 after some early rain clears. Up in Bangor, scattered showers stick around through late morning before the sun breaks through. You top out at 56. Along the coast and Downeast, it's a touch cooler with more clouds hanging on. Highs reach the upper 40s to low 50s. The Western Mountains see partly sunny skies after early fog burns off, topping out near 48. The County gets patchy fog and scattered showers through midday, with highs near 47. Tonight, mostly clear skies settle in statewide. Lows drop to the low-to-mid 30s — mild for early March. Here's your heads-up for the week ahead. Monday stays mild with mostly sunny skies and highs in the low 50s. Tuesday brings even more warmth — upper 50s to near 60 degrees. Gorgeous spring-like conditions. But Wednesday flips the script. A storm system brings rain, with a chance for mixed precipitation up north. Thursday sees rain likely statewide with a strong cold front sweeping through. By Friday, highs crash back to the upper 30s to low 40s with a chance for snow showers. Saturday stays chilly with lingering snow chances. One more thing — clocks spring forward tonight. You lose an hour of sleep, but we gain daylight. Sunrise tomorrow is at 7:07 A.M., sunset at 6:39 P.M. Enjoy the warmth while it lasts. See you this evening.

Good morning. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. Step outside right now and you might forget it's still winter. We're sitting at 46 degrees after an overnight low of 39. That's 16 degrees warmer than usual for early March. And it feels like spring decided to show up early. Today pushes us to 56 degrees under partly sunny skies. Those patchy showers and fog? They'll clear out by late morning. Southwest winds gust to 25 miles an hour, so hold onto your hat if you're out for a walk. Tonight drops back to the low 30s statewide. Clear and calm. Monday keeps the warmth rolling. Portland hits 54. Bangor reaches 52. And even The County climbs to 49 under mostly sunny skies. Southwest breezes gust to 25 again. Tuesday is the star of the week. Sunshine pushes the coast near 60 degrees. Augusta tops out at 62. Bangor hits 60. And the mountains reach the mid 50s. This is as good as it gets. Then Wednesday flips the script. A storm system swings in from the Great Lakes bringing rain statewide. The County could see a mix of sleet and freezing rain as cooler air filters back in. Highs only reach the low to mid 40s. Thursday stays wet with rain likely and highs in the upper 40s to low 50s. Behind that system, temperatures crash Thursday night into Friday. We're talking single digits and teens in the mountains, low 20s along the coast. Friday brings sunshine but much colder air. Highs struggle to reach the upper 30s to low 40s. One quick note. Spring forward tonight. Set those clocks ahead one hour before bed. See you this afternoon.

Good evening. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. Step outside and you’ll feel that familiar raw dampness in your bones. We’re sitting at 39 degrees under a stubborn gray overcast. It feels colder than the thermometer says, folks. But here’s the surprise — we’re actually winning today. Today’s high hits 43 degrees, which is 11 degrees above normal for early March. Spring is definitely trying to kick the door down. Down along the coast. Portland is holding at 43 degrees with a light south wind at 10 miles an hour. Don’t let the sun fool you; it feels like 32 with that damp air settling in. You’ll see drizzle after 9 PM, then steady rain moves in between midnight and 5 AM. Temperatures actually rise overnight, climbing from 40 to 47 by dawn. Head inland to Augusta and Waterville. And patchy fog develops this afternoon with highs near 40. That fog lingers into the evening before rain takes over after midnight. Like the coast, lows start in the upper 30s then warm into the mid-40s by Sunday morning. Bangor and the Penobscot region are seeing fog and a slight chance of rain this afternoon at 41 degrees. Rain becomes likely after 9 PM with lows around 36, rising to 43 by morning. Over in the Western Mountains, it’s mostly cloudy at 43 degrees with a slight chance of rain today. Look for drizzle tonight with lows around 39, warming to 47 overnight. Up in The County, it’s gray with highs around 40. Rain becomes likely tonight as temperatures rise from 36 to 42 by morning. The Midcoast and Downeast follow the same pattern — fog today, rain tonight. And temperatures climbing from the mid-30s to around 43. In Here’s your heads-up for week ahead, sunday brings a break with partly sunny skies and highs in the 50s. Monday and Tuesday get even warmer — we’re talking upper 50s to near 60, potentially record-breaking warmth. But Wednesday brings a system change — clouds move in with rain likely and highs dropping back to the 40s. Thursday stays wet with rain mixing to snow up north. Friday clears out but cools down significantly into the 30s. This warmth is going to decimate our snowpack. Southern Maine might lose it all, while the north holds onto patches in the shade. And with Maine Maple Sunday just 8 days away, this warmup could get those sap buckets flowing early! We’re gaining daylight fast, too — nearly 3 minutes every day. Sunrise was at 6:09 AM. And we’ll see sunset at 5:38 PM. Grab your umbrella before you head out tonight. You'll need it. See you tomorrow.

Good afternoon. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. Step outside today and you'll feel that classic early-March battle. Spring is trying to push winter out the door, but winter isn't leaving without a fight. Portland is sitting at 43 degrees right now, already running 11 degrees warmer than usual. You'll notice a breeze at 10 miles an hour, gusting to 25, shoving that mild air inland. Head up to Bangor. And it’s a touch cooler at 41 degrees. You might see some light rain this afternoon, though it's only a slight chance. The wind is really howling there, gusting to 23 miles an hour — hold onto your hat. Over in the Western Mountains, you're at 43 degrees with just a after 5 PM. Down east, the ocean keeps things damp at 40 degrees, with fog rolling in off the water. In Here's surprise tonight, temperatures actually rise while you sleep. Portland drops to 40 this evening, but climbs back to 47 by sunrise. Rain moves in between midnight and 5 AM. It's the same story in Augusta, rising from 39 to 45 overnight. Bangor warms from 36 to 43 by morning with rain likely. Even the Western Mountains climb from 39 to 47. This isn't your typical freeze — we're thawing fast. Sunday brings a real spring tease. Portland hits 54 degrees — a solid 14 degrees above normal. Augusta hits 56. Bangor reaches 55. And the mountains get to 48. It will feel like a gift. Looking ahead. Monday and Tuesday stay unseasonably warm, near 60 degrees. But Wednesday brings a wildcard. A storm moves in. And confidence is low on who gets rain versus snow. Northern Maine has the best shot at seeing sleet or snow, while the coast likely sees rain. By Friday, we cool back down, but this warmth will decimate the snowpack. If you're heading to the coast, watch for dense fog this afternoon. Visibility could drop fast. See you this evening.

Good afternoon. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. Step outside and you'll feel that unmistakable early March dampness. We're sitting at 38 degrees under a gray sky this morning. But Portland is climbing to 45 degrees today. That's 11 degrees above normal. And with maple sugaring season just 8 days away, this warmth is melting our snowpack fast. The state is having two different days today. Down along the coast. Here comes a foggy, damp afternoon near 45 degrees. That south wind at 10 miles an hour pulls in mild air, but it feels raw. Head inland to Augusta. And you top out at 41 with areas of fog. But up north? that's where the wind takes over. Bangor sits at 41, but gusts to 23 miles an hour make it feel colder. And in The County, you're lucky to hit 40 with that wind howling at 16 miles an hour. Tonight is where things get interesting. That mild air wins the battle. Temperatures actually rise after midnight. Portland climbs from the 30s to near 47 by sunrise. But rain moves in statewide after 10 PM. It starts as drizzle, then turns steady by midnight. Northern Maine could see up to a quarter-inch of rain. With that deep snowpack, we're watching for potential ice jams on the rivers. Sunday brings a serious warm surge. Highs hit the 50s—53 in Portland, 55 in Augusta. And 56 in Bangor. That's 15 degrees above normal. Monday and Tuesday stay downright spring-like, flirting with 60 degrees. But winter isn't done yet. A storm rolls in Wednesday. Right now, rain looks likely for most of us, but up north you could see sleet or snow mixing in. By Friday, we're back to the 30s and 40s. This is the mildest stretch we've seen in months. But don't put the shovel away just yet. If you're tapping trees next weekend, you might be doing it in a raincoat. See you this evening.

Good morning. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. Step outside and you'll feel that damp chill cutting right through your jacket. We're waking up to fog so thick in spots you might think you're in a cloud, with temperatures hovering right around freezing. That half-inch of snow from yesterday? It's already turning slushy as we get our first real taste of March's back-and-forth between winter and spring. In Here's what's headed our way, **A Winter Weather Advisory** is in effect for northern and central Maine until 1 P.M. We're talking freezing drizzle and patchy freezing rain through mid-morning—just enough to make untreated roads and sidewalks slick. By late morning, that icy mix changes to plain rain as temperatures climb well above freezing. **Down along the coast**. Portland starts at 33 degrees with areas of fog. You'll see that fog linger through mid-morning before temperatures rise to a very un-March-like 46 degrees—7 degrees above normal. Winds shift to the south and pick up to 10 miles an hour with gusts to 25. Tonight? Mild. Lows only drop to 41, with more drizzle possible overnight. **Head north to Bangor**. And you're waking up to 22 degrees with patchy fog. But here's the twist: by this afternoon, you'll hit 45—nearly 20 degrees warmer than this morning. Rain moves in by late morning, turning heavy at times. Tonight stays unusually warm too, with lows around 35 and steady rain tapering to drizzle. **The mountains?** A whole different story. Freezing rain likely through mid-morning—up to a tenth of an inch of ice possible—before changing to plain rain. Highs reach 47, but tonight drops back to 32 with clearing skies. In **the big picture this weekend, ** We're gaining nearly 3 minutes of daylight. And you can feel spring trying to break through. Sunday brings a taste of what's coming—highs in the 50s for many spots. But don't put away the winter gear just yet. By midweek, we're watching a storm system that could bring anything from rain to snow to a wintry mix, depending on its track. **A perfect day to get outside and soak up that extra sunlight. In **monday tuesday, ** Near-record warmth continues. We're talking highs in the upper 50s—yes, in March. Bangor could challenge its record of 59 degrees set back in 2016. In **wednesday through friday, ** Reality check. A storm system moves in, bringing rain that could mix with or change to snow, especially in northern and mountainous areas. Temperatures drop back to the 30s and 40s by Thursday. And yes, we might even see some accumulation in The County by Friday morning. In **one last note for maple syrup lovers, ** Sugaring season officially kicks off in just 8 days. With this warmup, the sap should really start flowing—great news for local producers! See you tomorrow. See you this afternoon.

Good morning. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. Step outside and you'll feel that damp chill cutting right through your jacket. That's classic early March in Maine. We've got fog clinging to the coast, half an inch of fresh snow lingering from yesterday. And temperatures that are playing hard to get this morning. But here's the twist: spring is making its move. Today's high of 47 degrees in Portland is 7 degrees above normal — and that's just the opening act. Down along the coast. Portland wakes up to areas of fog and a chance of drizzle before 9 A.M. By afternoon, you'll actually feel that hint of spring. Highs reach 46 degrees with south winds gusting to 25 miles an hour. But don't put away the umbrella just yet. Rain likely returns overnight, with temperatures doing something unusual. We're rising from 41 at sunset to 47 by sunrise Sunday. That's right, we're actually getting warmer after dark. Head north to Augusta and Waterville. And you'll find a different story unfolding. Freezing rain and sleet make for a tricky morning commute before changing to plain rain by late morning. Highs still climb to 46 degrees — well above normal — but the real drama happens overnight when rain becomes likely again. One silver lining: Sunday brings mostly cloudy skies and a high near 55. That's 15 degrees above average for early March. The mountains are where winter makes its last stand today. Freezing rain is likely through mid-morning in the Western Mountains. Up to a tenth of an inch of ice could create slick spots on untreated roads. Highs only reach 47 degrees there, but overnight we see rain moving in with temperatures actually rising to around 40. Sunday brings partly sunny skies and a high near 52 — still 12 degrees above normal for this time of year. Up in Aroostook County, they're seeing the most dramatic warmup. After starting at just 18 degrees this morning, temperatures soar to 44 by afternoon. That's a 26-degree jump in 12 hours. Rain becomes likely tonight with temperatures continuing to rise overnight. Sunday brings rain showers likely and highs near 46 — nearly 10 degrees above normal for The County in early March. Looking ahead, we've got a wild temperature rollercoaster coming. Monday and Tuesday bring record-challenging warmth. We're talking highs in the upper 50s to near 60 degrees statewide. That's 20 degrees above normal for this time of year. But don't get too comfortable. By Wednesday, a storm system moves in with rain likely, followed by a sharp cooldown. Thursday could even bring a chance of snow mixing in as temperatures plummet back to the 30s and 40s. The big picture? This is classic Maine March weather. We're gaining nearly 3 minutes of daylight each day now, the maple sugaring season kicks off in just 8 days. And the spring equinox is only 13 days away. But as today proves, winter isn't ready to leave without a fight. Charge your phone before you head out tonight — that cold drain catches everyone off guard this time of year. See you tomorrow. See you this afternoon.

Good morning. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. If you stepped outside this morning, you felt winter's last stand. Snow's been falling overnight, coating roads from Portland through the foothills. We've picked up 2 to 4 inches, with the heaviest wrapping up by mid-morning. That commute? Take it slow. Here's the temperature story. We're stuck in a cold trap today. Portland tops out at 35 degrees. Augusta hits 33. Bangor reaches 35. The coast sits at 33. Western Mountains struggle to 30. Up in The County? You'll be lucky to see 29. That's 12 degrees below normal for early March — spring's knocking, but winter's not answering. Tonight brings the tricky part. Freezing drizzle develops across central and northern Maine. Augusta and Waterville see patchy fog and ice by evening. Bangor gets the same treatment after midnight. Lows drop to the upper 20s south, but The County plunges to 18 degrees. Untreated roads could get slick fast. Saturday morning is when things get interesting. A Winter Weather Advisory kicks in at 6 A.M. For northern and Downeast Maine. Freezing rain and sleet mix across the north until early afternoon, with ice accumulations up to a tenth of an inch. By afternoon, temperatures finally climb above freezing and everything switches to rain. Highs reach the low 40s statewide. Here's your weekend outlook. Sunday brings a warm-up — low 50s with partly sunny skies. Monday pushes into the mid 50s with sunshine. Tuesday could hit 56 to 58 degrees, possibly challenging daily records. But that warmth won't last. A storm arrives Wednesday with rain and snow likely, followed by a sharp cooldown Thursday. Watch those roads this weekend, folks. See you tomorrow. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast See you tomorrow.

Good evening. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. Step outside and you'll feel that classic late-winter chill. With overcast skies overhead. We're sitting at 32 degrees right now. That's five degrees colder than our usual March high of 40. The calendar says spring is close, but the air still says winter. Here's the drama for tonight. A coastal system is spinning up. Snow moves into the Portland area around 8 P.M. It spreads inland overnight. Expect a coating to an inch in the city. Head north to Augusta and you'll see a chance for snow after 5 A.M. The mountains stay mostly cloudy and cold. Down in The County, it's a different story. Lows drop to minus 2 degrees. That's dangerously cold. Friday brings more clouds. Portland tops out near 34 degrees. Snow lingers in the morning before ending. The central region sees a high near 34. Any snow showers end quickly there. Up in Bangor, expect a high of 35 under gray skies. The mountains struggle to reach 30. The County warms slightly to 29 degrees. Friday night is when things get tricky. A warm front pushes in. Temperatures hover right at freezing. This creates a risk for freezing drizzle or patchy fog. It could make for some slick spots on the roads by Saturday morning. You'll want to watch your step. Looking ahead, the pattern shifts fast. Saturday brings drizzle and highs in the 40s. We jump into the 50s by Sunday. Monday looks sunny and beautiful with a high near 54. We might even hit 58 on Tuesday. That's a massive warm-up. It could start melting some of our snowpack. Another system moves in Wednesday. This one brings a chance for rain and snow showers. Highs drop back to the 40s. See you tomorrow. Take care For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast See you tomorrow.

Good afternoon. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. Step outside right now and you're feeling 36 degrees under clear skies. Feels almost calm. But winter's got one more card to play. In the next 24 hours. The South Coast takes the hit tonight. Portland climbs to 35 this afternoon as clouds roll in. Then right around 6 P.M., the snow starts falling. It comes down heaviest around 1 A.M. — expect 2 to 4 inches by sunrise. Friday morning's commute? Plan extra time. Push inland to Augusta and the story softens. You'll hit 30 degrees today. Snow holds off until after 1 A.M. and you're looking at less than half an inch total. Bangor and points north mostly dodge this one. Bangor tops out at 28 under mostly cloudy skies. No significant snow. Downeast stays dry too with highs near 30. The Western Mountains see 27 today, then drop to 12 overnight. And up in The County? Bundle every layer you own. Highs near 18. Lows tonight crash to zero. Tonight's full moon will light up any fresh snow like a postcard. Fun fact — on this day back in 1971. Portland got buried under 26 inches. Today's storm is tame by comparison. Saturday flips the script completely — rain and mid-40s. Sunday we crack 50. By Tuesday? Near 60 degrees under sunny skies. That's a 40-degree swing in five days. Classic Maine. In Sunrise hits at 6, 12 A.M. Sunset at 5:35 P.M. We're gaining nearly three minutes of daylight every day now. If you've got early plans tomorrow, charge your phone tonight and scrape that windshield before you leave. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. Right now. Maine's split wide open. Portland's sitting at 29 degrees. Bangor's at 20. And out in The County? A brutal 8 degrees with wind chills near minus 5. That's a 21-degree spread before you've finished your first coffee. In the next 24 hours. Today stays quiet. Mostly cloudy skies. Portland climbs to 35 degrees — about 5 degrees below normal for early March. The mountains and northern spots struggle to crack the upper 20s. Enjoy the calm while it lasts. Tonight. Everything changes. Snow arrives along the South Coast after 7 P.M. Portland's looking at 2 to 4 inches by morning, with the heaviest snow falling around 1 A.M. That's prime sleeping hours, so you'll wake up to a fresh coat. Augusta might see a dusting. Areas north of there stay dry. Friday brings more snow showers to southern areas, possibly mixing with sleet. Highs hold in the low 30s. If you're commuting along the coast, give yourself extra time. Then comes the warm-up. Saturday temperatures climb into the 40s. By Tuesday, we could hit 58 degrees in Portland. That's nearly 20 degrees above normal. Classic March — winter one day, spring the next. Maple sugaring season is just 10 days away. And the spring equinox arrives in about two weeks. One more note — tonight's Full Moon rises at sunset. If you're up late watching the snow fall, you'll have plenty of light to see it. Here's your heads-up for the week ahead. Saturday and Sunday stay mild in the 40s. Monday climbs into the low 50s. Tuesday hits that 58-degree peak. Then we cool back down to reality by Wednesday. Northern Maine, enjoy the quiet while southern areas dig out tomorrow. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good evening. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. That inch and a half of snow yesterday already feels like a distant memory. Step outside right now and you'll find 47 degrees on the thermometer. That's 7 degrees above normal for early March. Winter is loosening its grip. In the next 24 hours. Here's the breakdown for today. Southern and coastal areas from Portland through the Midcoast top out around 45 degrees. Central Maine reaches 47. Bangor hits 47 as well. The Western Mountains sit cooler at 40 degrees with a west wind around 10 miles an hour. But head to The County and it's a different world. Aroostook starts mild at 43 degrees this afternoon. Then the bottom drops out. Scattered snow showers move in after 8 P.M. Temperatures plummet to 7 degrees overnight. Yes, single digits. Wind chills dip to minus 3. The rest of the state stays dry tonight with partly cloudy skies. Lows range from the low 20s to around 26 degrees along the coast. Thursday brings a brief cooldown. Highs only reach the mid-30s in central areas and low 30s Downeast. Bangor struggles to hit 30. The County barely makes it to 17 degrees. Thursday night is when things get interesting. A storm slides south of us. Portland and coastal areas see snow developing after 7 P.M., mixing with sleet overnight. Expect 1 to 2 inches of accumulation. Central Maine picks up lighter amounts. Friday that system lingers with snow and sleet in the morning, tapering off by afternoon. Then the pattern flips. Saturday through Tuesday we warm up fast. Highs climb into the upper 40s Sunday, then 50s Monday. And near 60 degrees by Tuesday. Maple sugaring season is just 11 days away and the weather will cooperate. One more thing — look up tonight. It's a full moon. Sunrise was at 6:14 this morning and sunset comes at 5:34 this evening. We gained nearly 3 minutes of daylight today. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good afternoon. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. That inch and a half of snow yesterday already feels like a memory. Step outside today and you'll find sunshine with highs in the mid to upper 40s. That's about 7 degrees above normal for early March. In the next 24 hours. Portland reaches 46 degrees under sunny skies. Augusta and Bangor both climb to 47. The Western Mountains stay cooler at 39. But up in Aroostook County, enjoy that 43-degree high. Because tonight brings a dramatic change. A full moon rises over a rapidly cooling state. Lows plunge to 24 in Portland, 21 in Bangor. The County drops to 9 degrees with snow likely after 7 P.M. Thursday turns sharply colder. A backdoor cold front drops highs into the teens up north, upper 20s in Bangor. And only 33 to 36 degrees in Portland. Then the pattern gets interesting. Snow spreads across the state Thursday night into Friday. Portland could see 1 to 3 inches. Central areas pick up around an inch. A wintry mix of sleet and freezing rain is possible Friday night. But spring fights back this weekend. Saturday highs surge into the upper 40s. Sunday and Monday bring 50s statewide. That snow won't linger long. On this date in 1971. Portland got buried under 26 inches of snow. Quite the contrast today. Sunrise at 6:14, sunset at 5:34. We're gaining nearly 3 minutes of daylight daily. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. That fresh coating of snow on the ground? About an inch and a half fell overnight. But don't get too comfortable. Winter is about to pull a disappearing act this afternoon. We're looking at a serious warm-up. Portland hits 46 degrees today. That's 7 degrees warmer than usual for early March. In the next 24 hours. Augusta and Bangor aren't far behind at 47. Downeast and the Midcoast bask in 45 under mostly sunny skies. The Western Mountains are the cool spot today, topping out at 39. Up in The County, you'll hit 43 degrees, though a breeze picks up with gusts to 25 miles an hour. Enjoy the thaw while you can. Because the bottom drops out tonight. The County plunges into the single digits — down to 9 degrees. The rest of the state settles into the low 20s under partly cloudy skies. Thursday brings a reality check. A backdoor cold front crashes the party. Bangor struggles to reach 28. Downeast sees 30. And up north? You're looking at a high of just 14 degrees. That's the high, folks. The unsettled weather returns Thursday night. Snow moves into southern and central areas. Portland could see 1 to 3 inches. Friday brings a messy mix statewide — snow, sleet. And freezing rain. Expect slick travel Friday night into early Saturday. But then the pattern flips. Sunday through Tuesday, we're back in the 50s. Highs near 53 Monday and 56 Tuesday. That snow pack isn't going to survive. Tonight's full moon rises at sunset. And on this day in 1971. Portland got walloped with 26 inches of snow. So a dusting overnight? We'll take it. Sunrise at 6:14, sunset at 5:34. We're gaining nearly three minutes of daylight. Keep that heavy coat handy for tomorrow. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good evening. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. That snow falling outside your window? It's on its way out. About an inch and a half fell overnight, but the system exits before daybreak. By the time you're listening, skies are already clearing. In the next 24 hours. In Here's headline, today turns downright pleasant. Portland hits 46 degrees under sunny skies. That's 7 degrees above normal for early March. Augusta reaches 47. Bangor also tops out at 47. Downeast areas see a high of 45 after the morning snow clears. The Western Mountains reach 39. And Aroostook County hits 43. But don't get comfortable up there. Tonight, temperatures crash. Portland drops to 26. Augusta falls to 24. Bangor plunges to 21. The mountains sit at 24. And The County? A bone-chilling 9 degrees overnight, with snow developing after 7 P.M. Thursday brings a reality check. A backdoor cold front sweeps through, dropping highs into the 30s for most areas. The north stays in the teens. Then Thursday night into Friday. Our next storm arrives. Expect snow across much of the state, possibly mixing with sleet and freezing rain along the coast. The weekend turns messy. Saturday features a wintry mix transitioning to rain as temperatures climb into the upper 40s. Sunday clears out with highs near 50. Early next week looks genuinely spring-like. Monday brings sun and 53 degrees. Tuesday could hit 56. That's 16 degrees above normal. By the way, on this date in 1971. Portland got walloped with 26 inches of snow. We're getting off easy today. Full moon tonight if skies clear in time. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good evening. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. Winter is throwing one last jab tonight before spring officially takes over. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect until 4 A.M. Wednesday for southern and central Maine. The snow arrives between 7 and 8 P.M., peaks around 9 to 11, then tapers off before dawn. In the next 24 hours. Down on the coast, from Portland through Downeast, you'll see 2 to 4 inches of wet snow. You might see a brief mix of sleet or freezing rain late, but ice accumulation stays minimal. Lows bottom out around 27 degrees in Portland, 31 Downeast. Head inland and it's all snow. Augusta through Bangor picks up 2 to 4 inches with lows near 25. In the Western Mountains, expect 1 to 3 inches before everything wraps up by 2 A.M. Up in Aroostook, this system barely grazes you. You've just a chance of light snow after 11 P.M. With less than a half inch expected. The low sits at 24 degrees. Tomorrow brings a complete turnaround. Sunshine returns and temperatures climb to 46 degrees in Portland. That's 6 degrees above normal for early March. Augusta and Bangor also hit 46. The mountains reach 38, while The County tops out around 40. Thursday stays quiet before our next system arrives Thursday night. That one brings a wintry mix changing to rain Friday. Then we warm up significantly this weekend. Highs in the low 50s by Sunday and Monday. By the way, on this date in 1971. Portland got walloped with 26 inches of snow. Tonight is considerably tamer. In Sunrise at 6, 16 A.M., sunset at 5:33 P.M. We're gaining nearly 3 minutes of daylight. Watch for that full moon tonight. If the clouds break. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good afternoon. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. Folks, winter's got one more trick up its sleeve tonight. A fast mover is sliding through the Gulf of Maine.

Highs struggle to hit 27 with wind chills near minU S One. Snow wraps up before 4 P.M. One to 2 inches. Up in Aroostook County, light snow just keeps trickling. Less than an inch today, another inch or two overnight. Highs near 28. Fun fact. On this day in 1969, Portland got hammered with 20 inches and 50 miles an hour winds. Today's storm is a kitten by comparison. Looking ahead, Thursday and Friday bring sunshine and 37 degrees. Saturday warms into the low 40s.. Almost feels like spring teasing you. Don't get comfortable. An arctic front crashes in Saturday night. Sunday drops to 33. Monday barely cracks the low 20s. Wind chills could hit minU S Two0 up north. That's the kind of cold that'll stop you in your tracks. Charge those phones tonight. Cold batteries and Monday's deep freeze don't mix. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm DJ Huzz. And welcome to the Maine Weather Podcast. It's Wednesday, February 25th. Folks, that clear sky above you right now? It's a trick. Snow is coming.. And it's got your commute in its crosshairs. Step outside and you'll feel 10 degrees. Wicked cold. But here's the twist. By 3 P.M., Portland jumps to 38 degrees. That's a nearly 30 degrees swing in one day. Temperatures climb above the February average, about 4 degrees warmer than normal. Now let me walk you through the timing, because it matters. Down along the coast, snow reaches Portland around 7 A.M. It peaks near 10 A.M. You're waking up at 16 degrees around 5 A.M., so layer up before you leave. Winds shift southwest by 7 A.M., gusting to 15 miles an hour around 1 P.M. Push up to Augusta and Waterville. Snow starts around 9 A.M., peaks near 11 A.M. High around 32 degrees. Tonight drops to 22. Over in Bangor, you're starting the day at 2 degrees. Snow rolls in by 10 A.M. and sticks around until 6 P.M., peaking near 1 P.M. You don't hit 34 degrees until 5 P.M. Downeast gets the longest snow window. 10 A.M. all the way to midnight. High near 36 degrees. The Western Mountains? MinU S Two to start. Feels like minus 5 around 7 A.M. That's the kind of cold that stings your lungs. Snow runs 9 A.M. to 2 P.M. High only 26 degrees. Aroostook wakes up at 2 below around 7 A.M. Snow arrives late, near 11 A.M. And keeps falling overnight. High around 27 degrees. Most areas see 1 to 4 inches. Nothing catastrophic. Fun fact.. On this day in 1969, Portland got buried under 20 inches with 50 mile an hour winds. We're getting off easy. Tonight, skies clear south to north. Lows range from 14 in the mountains to 26 along the coast. Thursday brings full sunshine. Highs near 37 degrees. The week ahead tells a story. Things warm steadily into Saturday. Low to mid 40s, mostly sunny. Perfect for an early taste of maple sugaring season.. Then Saturday night, an arctic front crashes the party. Sunday and Monday turn brutal. Teens up north, 20s down south. We're gaining nearly 3 minutes of daylight every day now. Spring equinox is just three weeks out. Keep that thought warm in your pocket. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good evening! I'm DJ Huzz. And welcome to the Maine Weather Podcast for Tuesday, February 24th. Folks — winter's got its grip locked tight on us tonight. And it's not letting go anytime soon. Step outside right now and you'll feel it. That cold is **biting**. Down in Portland, you're sitting at about 20 degrees, but wind chills are making it feel closer to single digits. **Brutal**. Up toward Bangor, temperatures have dropped into the low teens. And if you're anywhere near The County? You're flirting with zero. Presque Isle is **frigid** tonight, no two ways about it. Here's what I'm watching. We've got a clipper system sliding through overnight that's going to dust us with a couple inches of light, powdery snow. Nothing major — maybe two to four inches across the interior, less along the coast. But here's the thing. That light snow on top of already icy roads? **Hidden black ice** is going to be a real problem for your Wednesday morning commute. You'll want to give yourself extra time and slow way down. Heading into the rest of the week, Wednesday stays cold with highs barely cracking the mid-twenties statewide. Skies clear out by afternoon, though, so at least you're getting some sunshine. Thursday? More of the same. High pressure parks itself over New England and gives us a couple of dry, cold days. Perfect conditions up at Sugarloaf and Sunday River if you're looking to hit the slopes — that fresh dusting on top of the packed base is going to ski **beautifully**. Here's your heads-up for the weekend. I'm keeping my eye on a potential Nor'easter developing Saturday into Sunday. It's still early. And the models aren't in agreement yet, but there's enough signal there that you should be paying attention. We could be talking significant snow. I'll have a much better read on that by Thursday's show. If you're heading out tonight. Layer up, cover exposed skin. And keep those pets inside. That's the kind of cold that sneaks up on you, folks. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow with updates on that weekend storm. Take care!

Good morning! I'm DJ Huzz. And welcome to the Maine Weather Podcast. It's Tuesday, February 24th. Folks, that inch and a half of fresh snow looks gorgeous on the trees right now. Enjoy the view.. Because Arctic air is barreling in behind it. And tonight gets brutal. Let's start along the coast. Portland and the south coast top out at 31 degrees around 3 PM. Northwest winds gust to 15 miles an hour this morning, shifting west by 2 PM. Then the bottom drops out. You're at 10 degrees by 4 AM. It'll feel like 6 by 11 PM. That damp coastal cold cuts right through everything. Over in Augusta and Waterville, you'll hit 29 degrees this afternoon. Overnight? Seven degrees. Wind chills sink to 2 around midnight. Layer up if you're heading anywhere after dark. Up in Bangor, you reach 30 degrees around 2 PM. Then temperatures nosedive to 2 degrees by 6 AM. That northwest wind shifts west by 9 PM. Downeast stays the mildest spot today. Highs of 32 degrees around 3 PM. But lows crash to 6 by morning. Feels like 5 around 1 AM. Now the Western Mountains.. A whole different beast. High of just 15 degrees. Overnight lows hit minus 3. Wind chills drop to minus 9 by 11 PM. Sugarloaf riders, your goggles are going to fog and freeze. Fair warning. Aroostook gets scattered snow showers lingering through 5 PM. High of 26 degrees. Lows plunge to minus 2 by morning. Looking ahead, the cold locks in through midweek. Snow moves in Wednesday morning.. One to three inches Downeast, possibly snarling the evening commute. Thursday clears out. Saturday brings a sweet little thaw, highs near 40 degrees. Then Sunday night, Arctic air storms back with wicked cold wind chills to kick off March. Charge your phone tonight. Cold like this kills batteries faster than you'd think. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good morning! I'm DJ Huzz. And welcome to the Maine Weather Podcast. It's Tuesday, February 24th. Folks, you woke up to an inch and a half of fresh snow.. And wind that's trying to rearrange your recycling bins. Temperatures are sitting around 22 degrees. The snow's done, but blowing snow is cutting visibility, especially along the coast. Today's your breather before the next round hits. Let's take a drive. Down in Portland, you'll hit 30 degrees around 3 P.M. Winds shift northwest to west by 7 A.M., gusting to 30 miles an hour before easing this afternoon. Tonight drops to 10 degrees by 4 A.M. With gusts to 15 around 5 A.M. Step outside tomorrow morning and it'll feel like 5 degrees. Push inland to Augusta. High of 29 degrees around 3 P.M. Tonight plunges to 7 degrees by 4 A.M. Winds shift around midnight with gusts to 15 miles an hour near 5 A.M. Up in Bangor, you're hitting 30 degrees around 2 P.M. Then the bottom drops out. Three degrees by 4 A.M. Winds shift by 9 P.M., gusting to 15 around 5 A.M. Downeast stays dry today. High of 32 degrees around 3 P.M., lows near 7 by 5 A.M. Gusts to 18 miles an hour. Now the cold spots. The Western Mountains top out at just 15 degrees around 2 P.M. By 4 A.M. You're at minus 3. Wind chills hit minus 9 around 11 P.M. Brutal. The County reaches 26 degrees by 2 P.M., dropping to minus 1 by 5 A.M. Winds shift by 9 P.M., gusting to 16 around 5 A.M. Wind chill that'll freeze your eyelashes. Looking ahead.. Wednesday brings snow back, especially Downeast and Midcoast. One to four inches with messy travel. Thursday gives you partly sunny skies and 37 degrees. Friday cools slightly. Saturday's the gem. Highs flirting with 40 degrees. Then Sunday.. Arctic air crashes back in. Single digit highs up north. Wind chills diving to minus 20. That's the kind of cold that kills car batteries. Keep those phones charged tonight. I'll be watching this next system closely. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care, folks!

Good evening, folks! I'm DJ Huzz. And this is the Maine Weather Podcast for Monday, February 23rd. If you're listening to this, you survived the nor'easter. Or you're still in the thick of it. Either way.. Respect. This storm is a beast. Downeast is taking the hardest hit right now. Another 4 to 8 inches still coming, with gusts to 45 miles an hour. Visibility near zero at times. That's not a snowstorm. That's a wall of white. If you're anywhere between Bar Harbor and Machias, you'll want to stay put tonight. Slide down the coast to Portland and you're seeing another 2 to 4 inches pile up before this thing finally quits. Gusts hitting 45 miles an hour there too. Enough to rearrange your patio furniture. Lows tonight drop to 17 degrees, but wind chill makes it feel like 5. Your face will know the difference. Over in Augusta and Waterville, similar story. Two to 4 more inches. Gusts to 40. Travel is ugly right now. Bangor? The storm is flexing hardest here. Three to 5 more inches with gusts to 40. Roads are a mess. Stay home if you can. Now the western mountains are catching a break. Under an inch of new snow. But lows tonight crater to 10 degrees. Sugarloaf skiers, that's wicked cold even for you. Up in The County, 1 to 3 inches and lows around 15. Tuesday is your reward. Sunshine returns. Highs climb near 30 degrees. Dig out, breathe, maybe admire what the plow driver left at the end of your driveway. Then Wednesday.. Round two. One to 4 inches statewide. Not as nasty, but enough to keep things interesting. Thursday dries out with highs in the upper 30s. Friday's a wildcard. Models can't agree. Could miss us entirely or clip us with light snow. The weekend warms into the 40s Saturday before cold crashes back Sunday. I'll be tracking this all night. Charge your phones and keep those flashlights handy. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good afternoon, folks! I'm DJ Huzz. Welcome to the Maine Weather Podcast for Monday, February 23rd. A Nor'easter with teeth is bearing down on us right now. This isn't a polite little February snow. This one bites. Heavy snow, blizzard conditions, coastal flooding.. The full package. If you don't need to drive today, don't. Snow rolls into Portland and the coast around 11 A.M. It spreads north through Augusta by 4 P.M. And reaches The County by 7 P.M. The heaviest punch lands this afternoon. Downeast, you're looking at snowfall rates over an inch an hour around 2 P.M. That's the kind of snow where you lose your driveway in twenty minutes. But the real villain is the wind. Gusts hitting 60 miles an hour along the Downeast coast. Fifty miles an hour inland near Bangor. Visibility drops to a quarter mile. Whiteout conditions. Your windshield wipers won't save you. Portland peaks at 28 degrees around 3 P.M. With snow wrapping up near 9 P.M. Push up Route 1 to Augusta and snow flies until 11 P.M. Bangor sees it through 10 P.M. With lows tonight around 15 degrees. Downeast gets hammered longest.. Heavy snow and blowing snow straight through 4 A.M. Tuesday. Over in the western mountains, lighter totals but still slick. Highs only 21 degrees. Snow tapers by 1 A.M. Tomorrow's high? Seventeen degrees. Brutal. Up in The County, snow keeps falling through 11 A.M. Tuesday. Blowing snow lingers past 5 P.M. Coastal flood warning is active this afternoon. Storm surge plus high waves equals minor flooding. Stay away from seawalls. Now the week ahead. Tuesday brings sunshine and low 30s. Catch your breath. Wednesday another clipper sneaks in with a few more inches, messing with the afternoon commute. Thursday clears out. Late week gets murky.. Another system possibly bringing rain and snow, especially Downeast. Weekend looks drier, but we're watching. Charge your phones. Fill the bathtub. Power outages are possible tonight with those coastal gusts snapping limbs. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm DJ Huzz. And welcome to the Maine Weather Podcast. It's Monday, February 23rd. Folks, a nor'easter is hammering us right now.. And this one means business. If you don't have to drive today, don't. Seriously. Stay put. The coast is taking the worst of it. Downeast and Midcoast, you're ground zero. Eight to twelve inches of snow with gusts hitting 50 miles an hour. Blizzard warnings are up. Whiteout conditions this afternoon. You're not seeing the road, period. Down around Portland, 4 to 8 inches pile up with those same 50 mile an hour gusts. Travel is dangerous. Tonight the snow tapers, but blowing snow sticks around. Tuesday morning you wake up to 12 degrees. That wind makes it feel brutal. Push inland to Augusta and Waterville. Three to five inches with gusts to 45 miles an hour. Tonight drops to 7 degrees. Wind chills near minus 10. Tuesday brings sunshine and 30 degrees. You'll want that after today. Up in Bangor, 4 to 6 inches and gusts to 45. Tonight.. 1 degree. One. Wind chills plunge to minus 15. Your pipes are begging you to drip those faucets. The western mountains stay lighter on snow, just 1 to 3 inches. But tonight hits minus 3 with wind chills near minus 20. That's frostbite in minutes territory. And up in The County, 2 to 4 inches with gusts to 30. Tonight settles at 12 degrees. Quick note for coastal listeners. High tide in Portland hits 3:18 P.M. Watch for minor flooding and beach erosion. Sunrise was 6:29 A.M. Sunset at 5:22 P.M. We're gaining almost 3 minutes of daylight. Small victories. The week ahead tells a story. Tuesday gives us a breather. Wednesday a clipper drops another 1 to 3 inches. Friday? We're watching another potential storm. Rain, snow, or a messy mix. Details are fuzzy. The weekend finally calms down. Upper 30s, maybe low 40s. Charge your phones. Fill the gas tank. Keep the flashlights close tonight. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good evening, folks! I'm DJ Huzz. And this is the Maine Weather Podcast for Sunday, February 22nd. Enjoy the quiet tonight.. Because a beast is heading straight for us. Blizzard warnings are up from Portland to Bar Harbor. This Nor'easter means business. Right now you're sitting at 30 degrees under gray skies. Almost peaceful. That changes fast. Snow hits the southern coast by 10 P.M. And spreads inland by dawn. Then Monday becomes a full blown war. Down along the coast, Portland takes 6 to 10 inches. The heaviest bands pound between 8 A.M. And 6 P.M. Gusts hit 50 miles an hour. Visibility drops to near zero. Your car in the driveway? Leave it there. Coastal flooding rolls in around the 1:53 P.M. High tide with 10 to 15 foot waves. Route 1 and I-95 south of Bangor could become impassable. Push Downeast and it gets worse. Six to 10 inches with blizzard conditions by 7 A.M. Wind chills in the single digits. Power outages are a real threat where gusts snap limbs. Inland toward Augusta, snow develops by 8 A.M. Four to 8 inches with gusts to 45 miles an hour. Wind chills feel like 5 degrees by midday. Bangor sees similar snow but the wind is relentless. Gusts to 46 miles an hour creating whiteout drifting. The western mountains catch a lighter 2 to 4 inches after 7 A.M. But wind chills near minus 10 make it brutal. Up in The County, snow holds off until 1 P.M. One to 3 inches total. But lows tonight drop to 2 degrees with wind chills near minus 6. That's frostbite territory. Now the week ahead tells a story. Tuesday the storm exits but leaves bitter cold behind. Single digit lows. Below zero in the mountains. Wednesday a clipper drops another 1 to 3 inches along the coast. Thursday brings a brief sunny break. Then Friday.. Another potential winter storm is already lining up. Rain and snow mix possible. Weekend temps climb to the low 40s. Almost feels tropical after this. Charge your phones tonight. Fill the gas tank. And if Monday commuting is optional, take the day. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good evening, folks! I'm DJ Huzz. And this is the Maine Weather Podcast for Sunday, February 22nd. A Nor'easter is bearing down on us. And this one means business. Blizzard warnings are up for the entire coastline. Kittery to Eastport, every mile of it. Snow rolls in Monday morning and the heaviest band hammers Portland between 8 AM and 5 PM. We're talking 9 to 13 inches. Winds screaming at 35 to 50 miles an hour. Whiteout conditions. Zero visibility. If you're thinking about driving Monday evening, don't. Seriously. Your car doesn't want to be out there. Now push inland toward Augusta and Waterville. Snow starts around 7 AM and piles up 4 to 8 inches. Less wind, but gusts still hit 40 miles an hour. That's enough to send drifts crawling across every back road. Up in Bangor, you're looking at 3 to 7 inches with the same drifting problem. The western mountains catch a break. Only 2 to 4 inches. But here's the kicker. Overnight temps crash to minus 3. Tuesday morning will feel like someone left the freezer door open on the whole state. And up in The County? Light snow, just an inch or two. Winds still gust to 35 miles an hour though. And temps drop to 2 degrees with wind chills near minus 7. That's frostbite territory in minutes. Here's your week ahead. Tuesday gives us a breather. Catch your breath, dig out. Wednesday brings round two, another 1 to 3 inches statewide. Then Friday a third system could mix rain and snow, making travel messy all over again. Three storms in five days. Classic February in Maine. Fill your gas tanks tonight. Grab extra batteries. Stock up on something warm to drink. You'll want to be ready before the first flake falls. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care, Maine!

Good evening, folks! I'm DJ Huzz. And this is the Maine Weather Podcast for Sunday, February 22nd. Right now it's 31 degrees and peaceful. Enjoy that. It won't last. A nor'easter is loading up and heading straight for us. Snow starts sliding into the South Coast after 10 P.M. Tonight. By tomorrow afternoon, this thing turns nasty. Portland and the midcoast catch the worst of it. You're looking at one to three inches overnight, then six to ten more through Monday. Winds gusting to 45 miles an hour. That's whiteout territory along the coast. If you're driving anywhere near Portland Head Light tomorrow, just don't. Seriously. Swing up toward Bangor and Downeast. And totals drop to three to seven inches. But here's what matters. Gusts hit 50 miles an hour up there. Even moderate snow becomes a wall of white at those speeds. Travel gets dangerous fast. Aroostook County and the mountains catch a lighter one to three inches. Cold is the story there. Wind chills near minus 7 Monday morning. That's frostbite in under 30 minutes on exposed skin. Tuesday the storm exits but leaves a parting gift. Lows crash to single digits everywhere. Minus 3 in The County. Portland barely holds 12 degrees. Wednesday warms just enough to tease you near freezing before a clipper drops another one to three inches, mostly Downeast. The week ahead stays restless. Thursday pushes toward 40 degrees. Almost feels tropical after what we're about to go through. But Friday? Another winter storm takes aim, this time mixing rain and snow. The shovels aren't going anywhere. Charge your phones tonight and fill that gas tank before the snow flies. Power outages are a real possibility with those gusts. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good afternoon, folks! I'm DJ Huzz. And welcome to the Maine Weather Podcast. It's Sunday, February 22nd. And if you're enjoying this calm right now, savor every second. A nor'easter is barreling toward us tonight. Right now you're sitting at 27 degrees under clear skies. Peaceful. Almost suspiciously peaceful. Because by 11 tonight, snow starts falling. By 9 tomorrow morning, Portland could see near whiteout conditions. We're talking 6 to 10 inches in Portland, 9 to 13 in Augusta. And the bullseye lands Downeast with 10 to 14 inches. Winds gusting to 25 miles an hour by 8 A.M. Make this a genuine blizzard. Travel tomorrow? Forget it. I-95 south of Portland will be a nightmare. Visibility drops under a quarter mile at times. York County, you've got a Coastal Flood Watch. Waves of 15 to 20 feet and a 3 foot storm surge hitting at high tide around 2:23 P.M. That's the kind of surge that swallows shoreline roads whole. Now drive north to Bangor. You're looking at 5 to 9 inches with gusts hitting 41 miles an hour. The western mountains get off lighter with 1 to 3 inches, but wind chills drop to minus 3 by Tuesday. And Aroostook? Classic County. No snow at all. Just brutal cold. Lows near 3 degrees tonight, minus 7 by dawn. The week ahead tells quite a story. Tuesday clears out but stays frigid, highs barely touching 30 degrees. Wednesday sneaks in another light snow, maybe 1 to 3 inches south. Then the plot twist. Thursday pushes Portland to 40 degrees with a rain and snow mix. By Saturday you're looking at 42. Warmest day in weeks. Almost feels like a spring audition. Charge your phones and flashlights tonight. Power outages are likely tomorrow, especially along the coast. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good morning! I'm DJ Huzz, and welcome to the Maine Weather Podcast. It's Sunday, February 22nd. Folks, enjoy that coffee by the window today. Those clear skies and sunshine? That's the calm before something wicked heads our way. Right now you're waking up to a dusting of fresh snow. Barely two tenths of an inch. Nothing to write home about. But here's what matters. A nor'easter is loading up off the coast, and by tonight it starts knocking on our door. Down in Portland, you're seeing a gorgeous 35 degrees today. Soak up every minute. Snow rolls in around 11 PM and just keeps coming. Six to ten inches by Monday night. Winds gusting to 45 miles an hour near the shore. Monday's morning commute? Blowing snow turns visibility into a coin flip. York County, listen up. A Coastal Flood Watch kicks in Monday afternoon. High tide could bring splashover, beach erosion, and road closures near the coast. Head inland toward Augusta and Waterville. Four to eight inches Monday with gusts to 35 miles an hour. Manageable but messy. Now drive north to Bangor. Sunny and 35 degrees today, then five to nine inches of snow Monday with gusts to 40 miles an hour. Up in The County, you're starting at a brisk 5 degrees this morning, climbing to 31 degrees. Monday dumps five to nine inches with blowing snow that'll make Route 1 feel like a dare. The western mountains dodge the heavy stuff. Just a dusting. But overnight lows drop to minus 2. That's frostbite territory if you're not covered up. Now let me walk you through the week ahead. Monday's nor'easter dominates everything. Wednesday a clipper system slides through with light snow. Enough to slick up the roads again. Friday teases another storm, this time a rain and snow mix. But Saturday? We bounce back to 40 degrees. A little February gift before March shows up swinging. One quick thing. If this podcast helps you plan your week, share it with a neighbor. Word of mouth keeps us going. Charge your phone tonight. Check that flashlight. Move the car before the plows roll through. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good evening, folks! I'm Aaron Jolly, and this's the Maine Weather Podcast for Saturday, February 21st. That fresh two inches of snow this morning looked gorgeous. Enjoy it. Because Monday's storm is going to make today feel like a vacation. Here's the deal. Right now you're sitting pretty. Sunshine, light winds, low 30s this afternoon. Perfect for shoveling out or just admiring the sparkle. But a powerful nor'easter is loading up, and it's taking dead aim at us Monday into Tuesday. The National Weather Service already has a Winter Storm Watch posted. Down along the coast and Portland, you'll hit 32 degrees today. Tonight drops to 19. Sunday warms to a pleasant 34. Then Monday? Five to nine inches of snow with gusts to 45 miles an hour. That's the kind of wind that rearranges your patio furniture. Head inland to Augusta and you're seeing highs near 30 today, 15 tonight. Monday drops three to five inches with gusty winds. Drive north to Bangor and Monday gets brutal. Three to seven inches, gusts near 40 miles an hour. Tuesday night? Lows near zero. Your car battery won't thank you. Now Downeast is where this storm really bares its teeth. Bar Harbor to Machias could see eight to twelve inches. Gusts to 45 miles an hour. Whiteout conditions. Travel might be flat out impossible at times. The western mountains catch a lighter punch. One to two inches Monday. And up in The County, three to five inches with gusty winds. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Monday's storm clears Tuesday, but Wednesday brings another round of snow, especially up north. Thursday warms near 40 degrees in the south with a rain and snow mix. Friday? More light snow possible. Don't put that shovel away. If you've got Monday plans, cancel them now. Stock up tomorrow. Secure anything that could blow away. Stay put when the snow flies. One more thing. If this forecast helped you plan your weekend, share it with a neighbor. We're all in this together. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Stay safe out there, folks!

Good evening! I'm DJ Huzz, and welcome to the Maine Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 21st. Folks, enjoy tonight's quiet. Because Monday? A nor'easter is coming, and it means business. Winter Storm Watches are up for Downeast, Bangor, and southern Maine. We're talking heavy snow, dangerous winds, and roads you won't want to be on. But first, here's the deal with right now. Down in Portland, you topped out at 34 degrees today under sunny skies. Tonight you're dropping to 18. Head up to Augusta and Waterville, where highs hit 36 but overnight lows sink to 15. Bangor started at a teeth chattering 10 degrees this morning. Climbed to 36 by afternoon, but by 10 tonight it'll feel like 11. Over Downeast and along the Midcoast, highs reached 34. Lows tonight near 16. Now the cold spots. The Western Mountains only managed 30 degrees today. Overnight? Six degrees. And up in The County? Lows plummet to 2 degrees by 5 A.M. That's the kind of cold where your nostrils freeze shut. Here's what's coming Monday. Downeast and Bangor sit in the bullseye. Eight to twelve inches of snow with gusts hitting 45 miles an hour. Visibility could drop below a quarter mile. Southern and central Maine pick up five to nine inches with serious blowing and drifting. The County and mountains see three to five inches. If you've got Monday plans, start rethinking them tonight. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Tuesday brings a brief break with partly sunny skies and highs in the twenties and thirties. Don't put the shovel away though. Wednesday into Thursday a clipper system rolls through with more snow, possibly mixing with rain down south. Friday warms into the upper thirties. But there's still a chance for showers, because February in Maine doesn't quit easy. One bright spot. We gained nearly three minutes of daylight today. Sunset hit 5:20 this evening. Spring is creeping closer. So. If this forecast helped you prepare, share it with a neighbor. We're all in this one together. Stay safe out there, folks. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good afternoon, folks! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Maine Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 17th, and winter is doing exactly what winter does best. Here's the deal. Step outside in Portland and you're right at 32 degrees. Freezing, but barely. A light north wind at 5 to 10 miles an hour keeps things honest. There's a slight chance of flurries, but nothing that'll stick to your windshield. Now head up the coast. Downeast and Midcoast, you're sitting at 28 degrees. Dry and quiet. Bangor checks in at 29. Central Maine, 30. Pretty tight spread there. The Western Mountains? That's your cold spot today at 26 degrees. A light northeast breeze makes it bite a little harder. Perfect conditions up at Sugarloaf if you're chasing turns this weekend. And up in Aroostook, you're at 28 degrees with gusts hitting 13 miles an hour. That wind finds every gap in your jacket. Tonight temperatures slide into the teens and low 20s statewide. Winds ease off. Tomorrow brings a slight bump, mid 30s along the coast, upper 20s inland. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. No major storms lurking. That's the good news. You'll want to enjoy this quiet stretch because February always has one more trick. A gradual warming trend pushes highs back toward normal by midweek. Think low to mid 30s for most of us. Still winter, but the kind that doesn't hurt your face. One bright spot worth celebrating. Sunrise hit 6:32 this morning, and we're gaining almost three minutes of daylight every single day. You can feel it. Tides running high in Portland today, 9.7 feet at 1:33 this afternoon. Air quality is solid, so bundle up and get outside. Alright. If you're enjoying these daily updates, share us with a neighbor. Word of mouth keeps this thing going. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Stay safe out there!
