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. THE AIR CONDITIONER FAN REDUCES SPEED during the day after a vigorous workout. Areas shaded by the Whites will have a relatively calm day. The breeze cuts out over southern regions of the afternoon, settling elsewhere through the day and night. A mix of sun and clouds north, mainly sunny over the coastal plain. The ocean settles out. A midday walk oceanside appears decent compared to recent days. STORM TO THE SOUTH GEARS UP as an upper-level trough drops over the upper Midwest. A frontal boundary associated with it is bringing snow to the Ohio Valley into Virginia and the threat of ice over the Carolinas and rain over the southeast. The storm is expected to bring snow to the South Shore of Massachusetts, along with Cape Cod and the Islands. A weak inverted trough on Thursday afternoon may form and bring snow showers to shorelines west of Penobscot Bay. The DownEast shorelines may see a few flakes early Friday morning as the storm heads for Newfoundland, roughly 200 miles southeast of Halifax, Nova Scotia. THE FAN TURNS BACK ON THURSDAY NIGHT, along with the snow shower machine for the mountains. With the storm well to the east, it won’t be as windy as Monday and Tuesday, but the northwest wind is expected to be gusty in the 20-30 mph range for the coast and 30-40 range for the mountains as cold air pours in on the backside of the system on FRIDAY. Most areas start SATURDAY with the windchill below zero, and for the hills, in the teens below. The shortwave pattern brings varying clouds and the risk of mountain snow showers through the weekend. The next chance for snow comes Monday night into Tuesday as a clipper passes through, which may bring a couple of inches but does not appear to bring widespread impacts.
