Maine Weather: 02-22-2026

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!
