Caribou, ME – Residents in northern Maine should prepare for a messy start to the week as a wintry mix of rain, snow, and freezing rain moves in late Sunday, according to the National Weather Service in Caribou.
After a frigid start to Sunday with morning lows in the 20s, precipitation will develop by late afternoon. Snow is expected across northern areas, while southern portions of the region will see mostly rain. The forecast notes a potential for freezing rain around midnight across the northwest, which could lead to slippery surfaces by Monday morning.
Forecasters say only a trace to an inch or two of snow is likely across northern Maine, but the combination of snow and ice could make for hazardous early-morning travel. Rain will continue through much of Monday before transitioning to snow or a mix of snow and rain Monday night into Tuesday.
A brief break in the weather is expected Wednesday before another system approaches by late next week, bringing renewed chances for rain or snow.
