Today's update is presented by Crowe’s Restoration of Arundel. For emergency fire & water damage (pipe bursts), mold, or biohazard issues in western and southern Maine, call them at 207-467-3152.  A QUIET DAY with little in the way of wind. Clouds increase over the coastal plain in the afternoon, which is associated with a storm passing offshore. It is a great day to enjoy the snow and ice fish. Beach walkers benefit from low tide in the 10 AM hour. DownEast areas and the islands have the best chance for snow showers later in the day and into the evening. THE WIND PICKS UP TONIGHT as the offshore storm bombs out well east of Nova Scotia. Cold air pours in from the northwest. By Friday morning, wind chills fall into the single digits below zero in the north and mountains, single digits above elsewhere. A BREEZY DAY FRIDAY with northwest wind gusts of 20-30 mph not shaded by the Whites, 30-40 mph for the higher elevations. Snow showers with light accumulation are possible in the mountains. Wind chill values are below zero on the hills, single digits north, and teens on the coastal plain. WEEKEND OUTLOOK: Wind speeds drop Friday night into Saturday. Snow showers are possible for the Quebec border region off and on through the weekend as upper-level shortwaves pass through and will bring a breeze along with them. High temperatures range in the 20s north to mid-30s for the coastal plain, with lows in the single digits to the teens. ACTIVE PATTERN RETURNS NEXT WEEK with three points of interest in the long term. Light snow with a flip to junk and rain is possible for Tuesday. A similar idea is on tap for Friday to end February stormy. Colder air behind that system may bring a snowier affair next Sunday. While it is too early to get into specifics given the long-range margin of error, it’s something to stay updated on, but it makes sense with the pattern.
