Storm update

An area of low pressure over the Great Lakes will spawn a secondary low as it moves to the north. This new low will become our next storm system. This storm will then move to the north east spreading bands of snow across the region. There will not be an excessive amount of very cold air avalible so it will be a wet snow and we will have some mixing issues. New models coming in now suggest a little nudge to the SE but they seem to all agree on this matter so confidence is high. I expect 4-8″ across the most of the area with 3-6″ along the coast from portland south and along the midcoast as well as the foothills and mountains. 1-3″ towards Penobscot bay, Augusta, and Farmington. See map below.

Snow map. Areas south of the green line will have mixing issues. Snow map will likely be updated tomorrow morning.
The exact placement and intensity of the low will determine exact amounts.
I’ll be back with another update maybe tonight but cirtenly tomorrow morning. For southern Maine/New Hampshire, check out my other sites for town by town forecasts. Snow forecasts for each town will be posted tomorrow.
