Caribou, ME – Northern Maine residents could see snowflakes around Veterans Day before another potential storm system approaches late Thursday, November 12, into the weekend. Forecasters are monitoring a developing coastal system that could bring additional snow to northern communities, although its track remains highly uncertain.
According to the National Weather Service in Caribou, showers will linger across northern Maine Monday evening before another round of precipitation arrives Tuesday evening and continues into Wednesday, November 11.
Veterans Day, November 11: Rain and Snowflakes Possible
Rain showers are expected Tuesday night into Wednesday, with some snowflakes potentially mixing in across northern Maine as temperatures cool.
The National Weather Service emphasizes that accumulating snow is not expected from this initial system.
Caribou is forecast to reach approximately 41 degrees Wednesday, while Presque Isle could see 41 degrees and Houlton around 44 degrees.
Residents attending Veterans Day ceremonies should prepare for cool temperatures and possible showers.
Thursday Night, November 12: Coastal Storm Approaches
Forecasters are also tracking a potential coastal storm that could affect Maine beginning Thursday night.
If the system moves farther inland, northern Maine could experience snow while southern and coastal communities receive rain.
However, the National Weather Service reports that an offshore storm track is becoming increasingly likely.
That scenario would limit precipitation across much of the region.
Friday Into Saturday: Snow Threat Remains Uncertain
Friday temperatures are forecast near 37 degrees in Caribou, 38 degrees in Presque Isle and 38 degrees in Houlton.
Overnight temperatures could fall into the 20s, supporting snow if sufficient precipitation reaches northern Maine.
Saturday precipitation probabilities currently range from approximately 30% to 50% across several northern locations.
No specific snowfall accumulations have been forecast for the potential coastal storm.
Residents across Aroostook County and surrounding northern Maine communities should monitor updated forecasts as meteorologists refine the storm's track and potential impacts.
