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. Thank you for the support of PTW!  WEDNESDAY: High pressure moves in from the west during the day, settling south of the region by evening. While it will be breezy to start off, the wind settles out once the high moves into the neighborhood later in the day. Dress for chill as it will be another seasonably cool day. Outside of the risk of flurries in the north and mountains as a weak cold front passes through, the rest of the region stays dry. More clouds for the north and mountains, a better chance for some sun for the coast. WEDNESDAY NIGHT: A mainly clear night is expected over the north. With the wind dropping, expect a bitterly cold night as temperatures tumble in the single to double digits below zero. Clouds increase over the south and west this evening, which could help keep temperatures up a few degrees.  THURSDAY: Clouds continue to build across the region as a warm front moves in from the southwest. What appears to be an 8 to 10-hour snow event kicks off over the south by around 10 AM, central areas by noon, and will reach the far north by around 4 PM. All areas can expect snow to fall during the evening drive. Snow tapers off over the south by around 6 PM, central areas by around 9 PM, and over the north in the wee hours of Friday. Southern interior regions may get a bit of ice, and the coast may get a rain shower as a parting gift. The snow may blow around along the Quebec border and DownEast regions later in the afternoon.  THURSDAY NIGHT into FRIDAY: As the front moves east, the west/northwest wind picks up again and could blow the freshly fallen snow around in open areas, which may cause a few slick spots. More clouds for the mountains with a risk of snow showers, with a mainly sunny day for the coastal plain. High temperatures range in the mid-20s north to mid-30s for the coast, with wind chills in the teens and 20s. THE NEXT STORM is on track to enter the region Saturday night into early Sunday. At this point, there is a “box-of-chocolates” assortment of ideas on snowfall amounts. Two things are relatively consistent: cold air in place, and southern areas appear to get the most out of it. A word to the wise to get your errands done Friday and Saturday, and stay tuned. The Wall is always there with the latest... PTW continues only by your support!
