Augusta, ME – Drivers across portions of south-central and southwest Maine could face slick and changing road conditions today as light snow continues to fall under a Winter Weather Advisory.
According to the National Weather Service in Gray, the advisory remains in effect until 1 p.m. Monday, with total snow accumulations between 2 and 4 inches expected in affected areas. The snowfall, while not heavy, may be enough to impact travel conditions, especially during periods of steadier snow.
The advisory covers a broad area including Cumberland, Androscoggin, Kennebec, interior Waldo, and coastal Waldo counties, impacting communities such as Portland, Lewiston, Auburn, Augusta, Brunswick, Rockland, Belfast, and surrounding towns. The region spans much of south-central Maine, extending from the New Hampshire border to the Midcoast.
Forecasters say the primary concern is variable travel conditions, as snowfall rates may fluctuate and cause roads to become slippery with little notice. Even lighter snow can reduce visibility and create hazardous driving conditions, particularly on untreated roads and during nighttime or early morning hours.
Residents are urged to slow down and use caution while traveling, especially when approaching areas where snowfall briefly becomes heavier. Motorists can check the latest road conditions by visiting newengland511.org, which provides real-time updates across the state.
No significant power outages or coastal impacts are expected at this time, but officials remind drivers that winter conditions can change rapidly. Travelers heading out Sunday evening or during the Monday morning commute should allow extra time and remain alert.
Additional updates may be issued if conditions worsen.
