Caribou, ME – Northern Maine residents could face another round of unsettled weather heading into the weekend as forecasters monitor a developing coastal storm that may bring rain, snow or a combination of both to portions of the state beginning Friday.
According to the National Weather Service in Caribou, showers are already moving across the region Tuesday, November 10, with some northern communities experiencing snow while most locations receive rain.
The precipitation is expected to continue into Veterans Day, Wednesday, November 11, as temperatures gradually fall and additional snowflakes potentially mix into areas farther south.
Conditions should temporarily improve Wednesday night into Thursday as high pressure builds across northern Maine.
However, attention is turning toward a possible coastal storm developing Friday, November 13, and continuing into Saturday, November 14.
The National Weather Service cautions that the storm's exact track remains highly uncertain, with computer forecast models showing significantly different outcomes.
Some projections keep the system well offshore, limiting precipitation across Maine.
Other scenarios bring the storm closer to the coastline, potentially producing additional rainfall or snowfall across portions of the region.
The agency's regional precipitation outlook shows probabilities increasing Friday and reaching approximately 59% during portions of Saturday.
Those percentages represent the chance of precipitation, not specifically snow.
Forecasters have not established snowfall accumulation totals or identified which communities could experience the greatest impacts.
Residents across Caribou, Presque Isle and surrounding Aroostook County communities should monitor updated forecasts as the potential storm approaches.
Travelers planning weekend trips across northern and eastern Maine should also remain aware that changing temperatures and precipitation types could affect road conditions if the storm moves closer to the coast.
The National Weather Service expects greater clarity on the system's track and potential impacts over the coming days.
