Caribou, ME – Light snow is expected to continue across northern Maine through the evening hours Monday, bringing minor accumulations before conditions begin to shift later in the week.
According to the US National Weather Service in Caribou, light snowfall will taper off overnight Monday, with temperatures dropping into the teens across much of the region. Forecasters say the snow is expected to have minimal impact, though untreated roads could become slick during the evening commute and overnight hours.
A gradual warming trend is expected to begin Tuesday and continue into Wednesday, setting the stage for a more complex weather system later this week. By Thursday and Thursday night, a mix of rain and snow is forecast to move into the region, particularly impacting central and southern portions of the state where temperatures may climb into the 40s. Northern areas are expected to remain slightly cooler, with highs reaching the upper 30s.
Meteorologists note that precipitation chances increase significantly Thursday into Friday, with periods of mixed precipitation likely across multiple communities including Caribou, Presque Isle, and Houlton. Rainfall totals remain uncertain at this time, though officials are monitoring the system closely for potential impacts.
Looking ahead to the weekend, colder air is expected to return following the passage of a cold front, bringing temperatures back down and possibly changing any lingering precipitation back to snow.
Drivers are urged to remain cautious during changing conditions this week, especially during periods of mixed precipitation that could create hazardous travel.
Officials recommend staying updated with the latest forecasts as conditions evolve.
