Before I get into it, my humble apologies for the lack of a post here on Sunday. I did post to Facebook, but forgot to transfer it over to the website. My error is noted, and I will take steps to make sure that it won't happen again. Showers before the cool down MONDAY - Low pressure near Long Island, NY, tracks northeast, passes over Bangor around 7 PM, and intensifies on its way to Labrador by Tuesday morning. Scattered showers with areas of fog and seasonably mild temperatures as the region sits in the warm sector for much of the day. The north and east can expect breezy conditions with wind gusts in the 20-25mph range, which will gradually diminish throughout the day. A risk of a rumble of thunder is also possible for Rockland to Fort Kent eastward. MONDAY NIGHT - As low pressure splits through the state, cold air enters the region, changing falling liquid to snow in the mountains, with rain showers tapering off elsewhere. With the intensifying system departing, the northwest wind begins to pick up. NOTE for overnight travelers: Some patchy black ice is possible in areas with standing water in the southern and western regions overnight. Low temperatures range from the 20s to 30s in the south and east, with temperatures in the 30s to 40s in the north and east. TUESDAY - A gusty northwest wind increases as the storm bombs out to the northeast, ranging from 20-30 mph statewide with higher gusts in the mountains. Snow showers continue in the mountains through the day, tapering off by evening. High temperatures range from around freezing in the mountains to around 40° south. Eastern areas start off on the mild side in the 40s, but will see temperatures drop in the afternoon. Wind chills in the teens to 20s are expected everywhere by nightfall. EXTENDED OUTLOOK: With the tropospheric polar vortex passing overhead, below normal temperatures are expected through the rest of the week and into the weekend. Weak clippers may bring snow showers to the mountains and north, but no storms are forecasted through Saturday. There is potential for a storm in the Sunday to Monday timeframe, but it is currently model noise and lacks consistency at this point.
