Portland, Maine – A strong Nor’easter will bring heavy snow, strong winds, and hazardous travel across Maine and New Hampshire through Monday night.
According to the National Weather Service in Gray, Maine, the region will sit on the northern edge of a powerful storm moving across southern New England. Winter Storm Warnings, Blizzard Warnings, marine alerts, and Coastal Flood Advisories are in effect across portions of both states.
Forecasters say snow will begin Sunday evening between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. and continue through Monday night. Storm total snowfall could reach up to 12 inches in parts of southern and coastal Maine and southeastern New Hampshire, with lesser amounts inland.
The storm is expected to produce reduced visibility of one-half mile or less at times, along with heavy snowfall rates. Northeast wind gusts could reach 35 mph inland and up to 50 mph along the coast, increasing the risk of blowing snow and difficult travel conditions. Elevated water levels and splash-over are possible along east-facing beaches.
Officials warn that travel may become dangerous, particularly during peak commuting hours Monday. Residents are advised to carry a winter survival kit if travel is necessary.
The National Weather Service urges residents to monitor updates at weather.gov/gyx/winter as conditions evolve.
