Hello everyone!

Today will feature very windy conditions as an extremely intense low moves to our east. Winds could gust to hurricane force over Downeast Maine while everyone else sees tropical storm force winds. Winds will decrease over inland areas. Highs today will not get above freezing for the third day in a row. Temps will only make it to about 30 under cloudy skies.

As for snow, expect any steady snow to be to our east with showers and squalls here in Southern and Central Maine. A dusting is possible.

Tomorrow, we clear out and warm above freezing sunder sunny skies with highs reaching about 35. Winds will be calming down as well as the storm heads east and weakens.

We have a warm and rainy weekend ahead with several storms moving along a slow-moving front. One will arrive Friday with heavy rain and fog. Showers are expected Saturday with another storm Saturday night into Sunday.

We will have to watch out for flooding as almost a foot of water is locked up in the snow pack up north and some of that could suddenly flow into rivers with ice jams left over from the January thaw.

How much water is in the snow or Snow Water Equivalent.

More rain is in the forecast for next week. Temps could hit 50 for the first time this season on Monday.
