Maine – A biting cold start grips northern Maine this morning, with light snow showers drifting across Caribou and temperatures sitting near 11°F. Side streets look powdery, and untreated roads remain slick as visibility briefly dips with passing flakes.
According to the National Weather Service, isolated snow showers will continue through midday before clouds thicken and temperatures climb into the mid-30s. Winds could gust near 23 mph, adding a sharper edge to the cold and blowing snow across open roads.
By late day, conditions stay mostly quiet, but the bigger shift begins early in the workweek. Caribou warms to the mid-40s Monday, and that warmer air brings a messy mix. Rain and snow showers develop by late morning and continue into the afternoon. While accumulation stays light, roads could turn wet and slushy quickly. Plan extra time if traveling.
Tuesday introduces a more complex setup. Rain mixes with snow during the afternoon, then transitions into a rain-snow mix by evening. Temperatures hover near freezing, raising the risk for brief icy patches after sunset. Watch bridges and overpasses closely.
By Wednesday, steadier precipitation returns with a wintry mix likely and highs near the low 40s. Conditions may deteriorate quickly during heavier bursts, especially during the afternoon commute.
This is classic early spring in northern Maine—cold mornings, quick thaws, and fast-changing road conditions. Keep winter gear handy and expect sudden shifts.
