Uncertainty Remains for Tuesday Snowstorm

Good Afternoon! Here is the latest on the ongoing light rain/snow event... Light snow, mainly across the north, will continue through this evening, eventually transitioning to mostly rain from south to north. Only far northern Aroostook may stay as snow. Only light accumulations expected with 1-3" possible. Here is the latest on the Tuesday snowstorm... A storm is expected to pass south of the coast Tuesday through Tuesday night which is likely to bring snow to the region. The greatest chance for widespread accumulating snowfall is Downeast. However, significant uncertainty prevents us from being definitive in amounts. If the low tracks farther south, snowfall will be less. If the low tracks closer to the coast, snowfall will be greater.

	W et Bulb Globe Temperature Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) is a measure of the heat stress in direct sunlight, which takes into account: temperature, humidity, wind speed, sun angle and cloud cover (solar radiation). This differs from the heat index, which takes into consideration temperature and humidity and is calculated for shady areas. For more background info on WBGT, click here.
