Good afternoon. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. Step outside right now and you're feeling 36 degrees, not bad for late February. Overnight bottomed out at 30, but here's the good news — we're gaining 3 minutes of daylight today. Sunrise hit at 6:55 A.M. and you've got light until 6:48 P.M. Today's all about that sunshine. Mostly sunny skies statewide with highs hitting 41 degrees from Portland to Bangor. The western mountains top out at 36, while The County reaches 33. North winds at 5 to 15 miles an hour keep things brisk along the coast, but otherwise it's a quiet Sunday. Perfect day for a walk if you ask me. As the sun sets. Tonight, clouds roll in, lows drop to 34 along the south coast, 30 in central Maine. And 25 up in Bangor, the County sees 23 degrees. After 3 A.M., a slight chance of rain develops in some areas, with a light wintry mix possible in the mountains and The County. Temperature-wise. Tuesday, rain tapers to showers by mid-morning. Temperatures crash — highs only reach the mid-40s. Wednesday turns sunny and cold, struggling to reach the low 30s with overnight lows plunging to the teens. Thursday through Saturday, partly sunny skies return. Highs gradually warm from the upper 30s to the mid-40s, with a chance of rain and snow returning by Friday night. Charge your phones and top off the gas tank before Monday's storm hits. See you this evening.
🚨 WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY - Maine Weather 3/15 - Morning
Good morning. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. Step outside right now and it feels fairly decent, we're sitting at 35 degrees under a clear sky. That's right around where we should be for mid-March. Highs today will range from 33 degrees up in The County to 41 degrees down near Portland. You'll see plenty of sunshine, though winds will pick up a bit this afternoon, gusting to 20 miles an hour in spots. As the sun sets. Tonight, clouds thicken up ahead of our next system, while lows drop into the 20s and low 30s. Monday morning brings a mixed bag of precipitation. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for the mountains and northern regions from 4 A.M. To noon. You could see a light glaze of ice and up to an inch of snow before everything changes over to rain by midday. Down along the coast and in southern Maine, you're mostly looking at rain. It arrives by the Monday morning commute and becomes heavy at times. Combined with melting snow, that could lead to some street flooding and rising streams. The wind is the other big story, gusts could reach 45 miles an hour Monday night into Tuesday morning. With the ground saturated, scattered power outages are certainly possible. Once the front clears Tuesday, we dry out briefly, but get ready for a reality check. Tuesday night lows plunge into the teens, wednesday brings sunny skies but highs only in the 30s. Looking toward the rest of the week, temperatures moderate slightly but stay active. We're tracking chances for rain and snow showers for Friday and Saturday. See you this afternoon.
🚨 WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY - Maine Weather 3/14 - Evening
Good evening. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. Happy Saturday, folks. We're shaking off a half inch of fresh snow today, but that's just the opening act. The real story is the powerful nor'easter brewing offshore, it's going to bring a serious soaker to start your work week. As the sun sets. Here's the setup for tonight. Skies clear out across the South Coast and Portland, with lows dipping to 28 degrees. It's a bit colder as you head inland, while augusta drops to 26 overnight. Up in Aroostook County. Here comes 18 degrees. Watch for scattered snow showers in The County and near Bangor this evening, but they should fade after midnight. Sunday looks like a classic calm-before-the-storm day, expect mostly sunny skies statewide. Highs will range from 34 degrees in The County to 40 degrees in Portland. Downeast hits 40. And the Western Mountains reach 35. It's a great day to get outside, because the weather turns wild overnight. Moving on, A strong low pressure system arrives late Sunday night, rain moves into the coast after 1 A.M. Monday. Up north, you could see a wintry mix of snow and freezing rain early Monday, potentially impacting the morning commute with slick surfaces. Monday turns raw and windy. Rain becomes heavy at times, with southeast winds gusting up to 40 miles an hour. Highs climb into the low 50s in the south, while that warmth, combined with heavy rain, could melt the remaining snowpack.

The storm pulls away Tuesday, skies clear out, but it turns blustery and much colder. Highs crash to the 30s. By Tuesday night, temperatures plummet into the teens across much of the state. The Western Mountains could see lows near 6 degrees above zero. Looking ahead. Midweek looks quiet and seasonal, expect sunny skies on Wednesday with highs in the 30s.

🚨 WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY - Maine Weather 3/14 - Evening

Maine Weather 3/8 Evening - Rain
Good evening. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. The weather's playing a joke on us today. Step outside and you'll swear it's April. We're hitting the mid-50s statewide — that's 17 degrees warmer than normal for early March. Portland peaks near 55. Augusta climbs to 57. Bangor reaches 54. Even The County hits 52. This is the kind of warmth that tricks you into packing away your winter coat. Don't fall for it. Tonight we slide back to reality. Lows drop to the low 30s under mostly clear skies. Portland settles at 33. Augusta cools to 34. Bangor falls to 30. Light southwest winds around 5 to 10 miles an hour. Monday keeps the mild streak alive. Highs climb back to the low-to-mid 50s. Portland hits 57. Augusta reaches 53. Bangor tops out at 55. Mostly sunny, but southwest winds pick up — gusts to 25 miles an hour. Monday night lows dip to the mid-30s. Tuesday brings the warmest day of the week. Highs push into the upper 50s across the board. Portland reaches 59. Augusta hits 60. Bangor climbs to 59. Sunny skies dominate. Light winds. Tuesday night lows settle in the mid-30s. For the rest of the week. Wednesday brings clouds and rain, especially after 8 A.M. Highs in the mid-40s to low 50s. Thursday turns active — rain likely, some heavy, with a wintry mix possible inland. Then a cold front crashes the party. Temperatures plunge fast. Thursday night drops to the teens and low 20s. Friday turns much colder. Highs only reach the upper 30s to low 40s. Another system rolls in Friday night into Saturday — snow and rain possible. The weekend stays unsettled with temperatures closer to normal. Enjoy the spring preview while it lasts. Winter's got one more act left. See you tomorrow.

Maine Weather 3/8 Midday - Rain Starting 9 AM
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.
Maine Weather 3/8 Morning - Rain Starting 3 AM
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.
Maine Weather 3/7 Evening - Foggy, Frosty, Fabulous!
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.
Maine Weather 3/7 Midday - Spring Sneeze in March
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.
Maine Weather 3/7 Midday - Foggy Pea Soup Day
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.
Maine Weather 3/7 Morning - Foggy Sleet Surprise
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.
Maine Weather 3/7 Morning - Foggy Spring Fool's Day
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.
Maine Weather 3/6 Morning - 12° Below Normal
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.
