Today will be an interesting one across the area with freezing rain developing and becoming heavy at times. As of 7 am, there was a trace of ice on the ground in Yarmouth while areas to the N/NW are reporting generally a quarter inch of ice. I expect that those areas being impacted now will have the highest chance of hefty accumulations. Along the coast north of PWM and points west, 1/2 inches or more can be expected while York county gets around a 1/4 inch.

Current radar shows a band of heavy precip moving across Cumberland and York counties and more back to the west. Precip will begin to fill in later on this morning and become heavy as low pressure approaches the region.

After this wave of low pressure, we get a ‘bonus’ round tomorrow morning. The same setup will be in place with cold air damming across the region and warm air aloft so freezing rain will again be the dominant precip type. New accumulations of 1/4″ are likely with that storm.

It all moves out to sea Tuesday with icy cold air in place for Christmas.
