Good Afternoon! A snowstorm is expected to bring 3 to 6" to much of northern and eastern Maine beginning tonight and continuing through Saturday. Some rain is likely to mix in over Downeast Maine which in combination with temperatures in the 30s could make for a wetter snow. Precipitation wraps up by the evening Downeast but may linger into Saturday night over the North. A significant rain and wind event is expected Monday and Tuesday. The strongest winds and heaviest rain are expected Downeast. Heavy rainfall in combination with snowmelt could lead to some localized flooding. Strong winds could result in isolated to possibly scattered power outages. For more information, please visit weather.gov/car
