Quiet weather is expected in Maine through mid-week. Another winter storm then looks likely on Thursday, with a bigger storm possible for the weekend. Monday will be quiet and sunny. Highs will be in the upper 20s.

Initially, it will be cold enough for all snow. Snow begins in southern and western Maine between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. In central and eastern Maine, it’s a later arrival, starting between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. The steadiest snow will fall during the afternoon and early evening.

TIMING OF SNOW: Snow arrives late morning for most of Maine, quickly picking up in intensity. Heavy snowfall is likely early to mid afternoon, gradually tapering off heading into the evening. Snow will likely end as some freezing drizzle or sleet, an icy glaze is likely on top of the snow. All precipitation should be mostly over by 9pm.

The second of five storms that will slam the eastern half of the United States with snow and ice over a two week period is on the way – and this one has more snow than the first.

Today's winter storm will provide us with light to moderate snowfall totals, a light glaze of ice, and difficult travel through the evening drive home. Additional snow showers work in Friday before a bigger system arrives late this weekend.
