Cold temps will return to Maine for the next couple of days before our next snowstorm with plowable amounts of snow arrives Thursday.

Tuesday will feature sunshine, blustery winds and dropping temperatures. It will be in the 20s by the afternoon and with gusty northwest winds it will feel like the single digits.

Wednesday is looking sunny but very cold with highs in the teens to near 20 degrees. We will likely be below zero Wednesday night.

Our next storm gets going Thursday, likely starting late morning or early afternoon. Several hours of steady to heavy snowfall is likely Thursday afternoon, gradually winding down Thursday evening.

The snow may end as some light freezing drizzle or sleet during the evening hours.

For totals, this storm looks to bring a very uniform 3 to 6 inches of snow across the state with slightly lower amounts in northern Maine. Stay tuned as some shifts are still possible with snow totals.

We’re then seasonably chilly Friday and Saturday with a decent amount of sunshine. Highs will be in the 20s to around 30 degrees.

Another storm moves in Saturday night. Models are in great agreement that this will be a pretty much all snow event beginning Saturday night and continuing until Sunday afternoon.

A longer duration storm, colder temps, and a more favorable track for snow means this one likely brings more snow than Thursday, potentially double digit amounts in spots. Stay tuned as we refine this forecast through the rest of the week.
