Maine – Light snowflakes begin to mix into the cold morning air, and slick spots are already forming on untreated roads across northern communities.
According to the National Weather Service in Caribou, temperatures hover near 19°F early, with highs only reaching around 30°F today. Snow develops mainly after midday, with light accumulation possible on colder surfaces. Even minor snowfall could create hazardous driving, especially on Route 1 and secondary roads.
Drivers should plan extra time this afternoon. Pavement temperatures remain below freezing, allowing snow to stick quickly. Visibility may briefly drop during passing snow showers.
Conditions stay unsettled into tonight with another round of light snow possible before late evening. Lows fall to around 21°F, reinforcing icy patches by early Monday. Any melting during daylight will refreeze quickly, increasing the risk of black ice.
Monday brings partial clearing, but temperatures stay cold, topping out near 32°F. A colder night follows, dipping to near 14°F. That sharp drop could refreeze moisture on roads and sidewalks.
The pattern shifts slightly Tuesday with sunshine and highs near 35°F, offering brief relief. However, another system arrives midweek. Snow shower chances increase Wednesday and continue into Thursday, with highs staying in the low 30s.
Expect repeated cycles of light snow and freezing temperatures to keep travel conditions inconsistent. Keep winter gear in your vehicle and watch for rapidly changing road conditions.
