About this listen

Good evening, folks! I'm Aaron Jolly, and this's the Maine Weather Podcast for Saturday, February 21st. That fresh two inches of snow this morning looked gorgeous. Enjoy it. Because Monday's storm is going to make today feel like a vacation. Here's the deal. Right now you're sitting pretty. Sunshine, light winds, low 30s this afternoon. Perfect for shoveling out or just admiring the sparkle. But a powerful nor'easter is loading up, and it's taking dead aim at us Monday into Tuesday. The National Weather Service already has a Winter Storm Watch posted. Down along the coast and Portland, you'll hit 32 degrees today. Tonight drops to 19. Sunday warms to a pleasant 34. Then Monday? Five to nine inches of snow with gusts to 45 miles an hour. That's the kind of wind that rearranges your patio furniture. Head inland to Augusta and you're seeing highs near 30 today, 15 tonight. Monday drops three to five inches with gusty winds. Drive north to Bangor and Monday gets brutal. Three to seven inches, gusts near 40 miles an hour. Tuesday night? Lows near zero. Your car battery won't thank you. Now Downeast is where this storm really bares its teeth. Bar Harbor to Machias could see eight to twelve inches. Gusts to 45 miles an hour. Whiteout conditions. Travel might be flat out impossible at times. The western mountains catch a lighter punch. One to two inches Monday. And up in The County, three to five inches with gusty winds. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Monday's storm clears Tuesday, but Wednesday brings another round of snow, especially up north. Thursday warms near 40 degrees in the south with a rain and snow mix. Friday? More light snow possible. Don't put that shovel away. If you've got Monday plans, cancel them now. Stock up tomorrow. Secure anything that could blow away. Stay put when the snow flies. One more thing. If this forecast helped you plan your weekend, share it with a neighbor. We're all in this together. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Stay safe out there, folks!
