Maine – A sharp, biting wind cuts across open fields in Caribou, and the air feels raw against your face. Early light snow showers are tapering off, but the real headline is the cold tightening its grip across Aroostook County.
Temperatures climb only to around 31 degrees this afternoon with a slight chance of snow early. Northwest winds between 10 and 14 mph will gust up to 25 mph, adding an extra edge to the chill. Roads may look dry in spots, yet brief flakes could create slick patches.
Skies clear tonight, and temperatures plunge to near 13 degrees. Sunshine returns Thursday with a high near 30, but the warmth is short-lived. Clear skies Thursday night allow readings to crash to around 4 degrees.
Friday stays sunny but colder, with highs near 25. By Friday night, lows fall to near -2 degrees. That kind of February freeze can refreeze melted snow during the day, creating flash freezing on untreated roads. Watch for black ice on Route 1 and rural highways before sunrise.
The weekend stays mostly sunny but cold. Highs reach only the mid-20s Saturday and low 30s Sunday. Next week begins with a slight chance of snow Monday and highs near 29. Another weak snow chance lingers into Tuesday.
The 6–10 day outlook hints at gradual moderation late next week. Signs of early spring warmth may try to build, but for now, winter still has control in northern Maine.
