Caribou, Maine – Steady rain is falling across Maine this morning, raising water levels and setting up a rain-to-snow transition tonight that could impact roads and the early Monday commute, especially in northern مناطق.
According to the National Weather Service in Caribou, rainfall will continue through Sunday before tapering off this evening and changing to a brief period of snow across northern Maine. Areas north of the Katahdin region, including Presque Isle and Fort Kent, could see up to 1 inch of snow accumulation overnight.
Rainfall totals between 0.5 and 1.0 inch are expected statewide, with locally higher amounts near Mount Katahdin. This will lead to rising streams and rivers, including the St. John River, where water levels may run high into Monday. While widespread flooding is not expected, localized impacts are possible in low-lying areas.
Temperatures will remain cool, with highs Sunday ranging from the upper 30s near Mount Katahdin to near 50 degrees in Bangor and Downeast المناطق. Overnight, colder air will allow snow to mix in across the north, with slick spots possible on routes such as I-95 and Route 1 by early Monday.
Unseasonably cold conditions continue Monday with a chance of scattered snow showers before drier weather returns Tuesday. Residents should monitor changing road conditions overnight and stay alert for updates as temperatures fluctuate.
