While record-breaking high temperatures are possible Tuesday, much cooler temperatures and a storm are expected later in the week.

The National Weather Service predicts clouds to become more widespread Wednesday and possibly lead to a few sprinkles or flurries across southern areas of Maine. Then a significant storm can develop overnight and result in plowable snow Thursday morning. Total snow accumulations in excess of 6 inches is possible in western Maine.

The storm could create hazardous conditions during Thursday’s morning or evening commute.

The storm is expected to end Thursday evening, according to NWS forecasts.
