Cold, quiet stretch in Maine ahead of another possible late weekend snowstorm
PORTLAND (WGME) — A seasonably cold air mass will continue to impact temperatures through the end of the week.
All eyes will turn to the backend of the weekend with the possibility of a powerful storm that is passing a few hundred miles offshore on Sunday.
Wednesday planner.{ }(WGME)
On Wednesday, the sun will be present with highs near 20 degrees.
The snow on the ground will make things very bright, so don’t forget your sunglasses!
Boston forecast.{ }(WGME)
The Boston Celtics have a home game Wednesday night at 7:30 PM for travel purposes.
By Thursday, it will be more of a mixed bag of both sun and clouds with similar temperatures.
The next chance for some snow showers will be inland and in the mountains on Friday morning.
Weekend forecast.{ }(WGME)
For the weekend, Saturday will be the brightest day, yet the coldest.
Our Weather Authority team continues to closely monitor the track of a powerful storm that is passing a few hundred miles offshore on Sunday.
As of midweek, the track will either have Maine under its extreme western edge with some snow or a miss heading out to sea.
There are two scenarios that the storm could take, the first being a large storm track.
If the storm’s center passes off the coast of Cape Cod, we could be looking at a classic blizzard situation with snow and wind.
The second scenario and the more likely of the two, out to sea. The storm may end up cutting in the middle of these two, bringing snow to mostly coastal spots.
This large storm and its track is being watched very closely as any shift in the track will result in major changes to the forecast. Stay tuned.
Cold start to February.{ }(WGME)
The first week of February is set to continue with those below-normal temperatures.
