Caribou, ME – Northern Maine is bracing for a blustery Sunday, with high winds and scattered snow showers creating potentially hazardous travel conditions. Temperatures are set to peak at a chilly 42°F, with gusty northwesterly winds driving wind chills near freezing across northern areas, especially along US Route 1 and Interstate 95. Residents and travelers should bundle up and drive cautiously, as sudden snow showers may reduce visibility.
According to the National Weather Service, areas north of Caribou, including the highlands, will see intermittent snow showers by late afternoon, with bursts of heavier snow possible into the evening. Wind gusts could reach up to 26 mph, further dropping perceived temperatures and creating slick roadways.
