Winter weather advisory for northern areas

2/24/2021

Status Update

I've got 65 days left until my final semester is over, and school is very intense right now. My mother is in hospice care, as I mentioned here previously. My day job is also demanding quite a bit of my time as the shipping lanes are a disaster from weather impacts, storms and pandemic. I feel like I am playing Whack-A-Mole right now. This is affecting what I do here.  I know this will all pass, and it will all work itself out. I have to focus on priorities, and one of them is rest, so I can deal with the full load in front of me.

With all of this in mind, my updates will be short, sweet and to the point starting today, until life settles down. My posts may lack some specifics, but potential impacts will be well noted. My posting may be infrequent. When I post, it will be because something is going on that could impact some part or all of the state. I try hard not to waste your time or mine with the information I provide. 

I appreciate your patience, loyalty and understanding. 

Some snow for the mountains and north

Picture
Most of the western ski hills and the north country get a fresh charge of snow Wednesday night into early Thursday. The higher peaks could get 5-8", with 2-5" the general idea for most of the region. Bangor could see a coating to an inch.
Picture
This forecast loop of the NAM3 model from 4 PM Wednesday to noon Thursday shows snow entering into western areas around 6-7 PM and overspreading the north by 10-11 PM. Snow could fall moderate to heavy at times. Snow ends from west to east by around 7-8 AM, but snow showers may persist in the mountains through Thursday afternoon. 

For those travelling in the area, expect slick conditions through the Thursday morning commute. 

Weekend outlook still up in the air

Picture
 Another quick hitting storm works into the region on Saturday. A rough idea on timing indicates precipitation starting in the mid to late morning over western and southern areas, and overspreading the north and east by mid to late afternoon. Precipitation ends from west to east by the wee hours of Sunday morning. 

Who gets what for snow or potential for ice & sleet is still to be determined. The shorelines can expect this to be a mainly rain event as the southerly flow over the ocean keeps precipitation liquid there. There is chance that all areas see flakes to start off. Northern areas appear to stay all snow. Western, interior eastern and southern areas are in a toss up zone, which could feature all four types of precipitation. 

A rough idea on snowfall is 2-5", and it could come quick in areas. Fine tuning will come on this. Stay tuned.
