Saturday will be the quieter (by far) day of the upcoming weekend. NW breeze will have some giddy-up to it at 10-20 mph. Snow moves in early Sunday morning and will hang around all day. 4-8" possible in the mountains with 2-4" for most everyone else, sans the County.

The rain/snow line is roughly 20 miles inland from the coast as precip continues to work west to east through Maine. A few inches for the mountains/higher terrain will most everyone else gets minor accum. Everything exits east by around midnight/1am. #mewx

#vernalequinox stroll this Friday. Came across an old, rusty, 15ft ladder. Had to see what it was about. #maine #spring

Maine Maple Sunday Weekend is March 21/22 and the forecast looks sticky.. Have you ever tried Maine maple syrup in your coffee??

The mega ridge out west will send temperatures soaring for locations under it. That ridge lends itself to a 'troughier' pattern for New England. That'll translate to a cooler & more active pattern, possibly through the remainder of March, in Maine.

The first day of Spring will come with a round of snow and cold rain for Maine. 1-3" into the higher terrain & north. Probably a cold rain in York County with a wet slushy snow along the coast. Precip exits to the east by around 11p FRI in W Maine and by 3a SAT in E Maine.

This snow yielding area of low pressure in the Gulf of Alaska is producing 40-50 mph winds. h/t @TimBuckleyWX

Into Thursday morning, some subtle wind convergence and perhaps some ocean enhancement may lead to sparse snow shower production. These will likely move in to the Casco Bay/Midcoast region and drift inland.

The Piscataquis River between Medford and Howland is experiencing flooding, due to an ice jam. The river is out of its banks along parts of Maxfield Road and North Howland Road. Be vigilant along the river in these locations.

@stang2005gt Yes, lots of apps out there! I try to talk about it when I know weather will permit a decent view, which is usually on slower weather days. Appreciate the “heads up” 😆

@AlanSHolt theres an App as well where you can track the space station. I had it on my phone before, longest time i watched it in the sky was like 7 min and thats when it fly right over where i lived at the time. Thanks for explaining the degrees for us 3 fist and a half

The ISS will make a pass north of Maine, but should be visible about 36° up from the northern horizon. Time to watch is between 7:29p and 7:36p. It will look like a slow moving star. There are some clouds in the mountains but tonight should offer decent viewing.

Tuesday's high temps in Maine will come before sunrise. A cold front sweeping the state pre-dawn TUE will send temps into the 40s in the morning and 30s in the aftn. It'll also kick rain to the east by sunrise & give us some sun for St Patrick's Day; albeit with a chilly W breeze

Temperatures will slide into the 40s and 30s Tuesday, in the wake of a cold front sweeping the state Tuesday morning. The front will also kick rain east and bring a brisk west breeze at 10-20 mph; gusts up around 30 mph at times.

Earth's Vernal Equinox is on Friday, March 20, 2026. But Maine's equilux (date where day/night are equal for a location) is on March 17 this year. 12 hours of day/night.

Southerly, on-shore winds will be gusty overnight. The Penobscot Bay region & parts of coastal Hancock and Washington Counties could have a few gusts approach 60 mph. A few power outages possible.

This chart is a good representation of how the precipitation types will be distributed in Maine on Wednesday (March 11). A lot of this falls in the late afternoon/night.

Sun setting on what has been an immaculate early March day in Maine. Great view of Portland Head Light. #MEwx

60s & 70s for many in Maine today. New record highs for March 10 in Augusta, Bangor, and Portland. Hope you enjoyed it! In Bangor/Augusta March 10 represents the earliest in the year 70s have been recorded in both locations.

Taking advantage of the sunshine and milder temperatures. #mewx
