Snow And Rain Showers Arrive By the Afternoon, Slippery Evening Travel Likely

PRESQUE ISLE, Maine (WAGM) –

Good morning everyone and Happy New Year! As our next system approaches the region, we are looking at some rain and snow showers arriving by the early afternoon likely impacting travel.

Because of this, the National Weather Service has placed locations to the West underneath a Winter Weather Advisory. That remains in place through 3 PM tomorrow due to snow showers lingering on through tomorrow afternoon. These locations will also have a greater chance of sustaining as all snow because of how temperatures will progress by the afternoon.

Highs this afternoon will vary by location into the low to mid 30s. Going hour by hour for you, snow arrives by lunchtime hours. A rain snow line sets itself up in locations in far southern Aroostook cutting down on totals. Snow showers continue to move through the region extending through the late evening hours. This will likely result in some slippery travel conditions as temperatures fall back towards the freezing mark.

Snowfall amounts will vary based on location with areas within the North Woods seeing the highest amounts between 5 and 7 inches. Locations to the North and East will be within the 1 to 3 inch range. As rain mixes in in Southern Aroostook, it cuts down on totals.
