Wednesday will see gusty winds through the day and snow showers in eastern Maine.

Heading into Wednesday evening, the entire state will has a chance of a snow shower or a burst of some light snow. Which will wrap up by Thursday morning.

Thursday will be relatively calm.

Nor’easter arrives Friday

Snow will begin Friday morning, likely changing over to rain for the afternoon at the coast. Inland and mountain areas will stay mainly snow, with the highest totals there.

Snow or wintry mix will continue through much of Saturday, winding down by Saturday evening.

Any coastal rain will likely change back to snow as the storm wraps up Saturday.

How much snow are we going to get?

The highest totals look to be inland and towards the mountains. Higher elevations could easily see a foot or more of snow, and inland areas could approach double digit totals.

At the coast, totals are still very much up in the air. All will depend on storm track.

If the storm tracks right along the coastline, mild air will move inland, and a coating to a couple inches will fall at the coast before the changeover to rain. Most models have the storm tracking very close to the coast. This will introduce rain to coastal areas, reducing totals.

If the storm tracks farther offshore, cold air will stay in place, and it could be mainly snow at the coast and with much deeper snowfalls.

Both solutions are very possible with this storm. A slight shift will make a huge difference.
