Good morning! *Arctic front will be passing through on Friday, bringing extremely cold wind chills throughout the weekend. Wind chills around -30 to -40 in the north, around -30 in Central Highlands, and around -25 to -20 in the Bangor and Downeast regions. These temperatures will improve Sunday night, but not by much. Exposure to these frigid temperatures can quickly result in frostbite and hypothermia, so plan ahead and take necessary precautions to stay warm. *Gusty winds on Friday could potentially resulting in drifting or blowing snow in the north, as there is a chance for light fluffy snow Thursday into Thursday night. Blowing snow can cause reductions in visibility, and impact travel. *There is a chance for snow squalls Friday afternoon into the evening. Currently, there is uncertainty in the exact location these squalls could develop, but there is some favorable instability and lift that could cause some bursts of heavy snowfall Friday afternoon into evening. Continue to monitor the forecast for updates as confidence increases. *Light snow expected tonight, mostly over Downeast Maine. Roughly 1-3 inches. Could cause some slippery travel, predominantly for the Thursday morning commute. For more information, please visit weather.gov/car
