    3/3 Maine Weather 6 AM: Winter Weather Advisory
    Mar 3 2026
    Good morning. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. Step outside right now and you'll feel winter flexing its muscles. We're waking up to 9 degrees under clear skies, thanks to high pressure that really dragged the Arctic air down last night. But don't let that sunshine fool you. Things are about to get interesting. In the next 24 hours. Here's the story. Low pressure develops near Boston this evening and tracks right into the Gulf of Maine. That means we're looking at a classic setup for widespread snow. Folks in Portland see flakes start flying by 2 P.M. That evening commute is going to get slick, so plan ahead. You're looking at 2 to 4 inches piling up by morning. Head inland to Augusta and Bangor. And snow holds off until around 5 P.M. You'll see similar totals there. Enough to shovel, but not a burying. Downeast catches the heaviest band. The coast gets walloped with 3 to 5 inches as the moisture really cranks up. The Western Mountains see a lighter touch, with 1 to 3 inches arriving after 6 P.M. Up in The County? You mostly dodge this bullet. Just a chance of snow showers overnight with less than half an inch. Tonight won't be brutal, with lows ranging from 21 in Bangor to 28 Downeast. But that heavy, wet snow sticks to everything. Plan on a slow Wednesday morning commute. The good news? Wednesday brings the rescue. Sunshine returns and temperatures soar into the mid 40s. Most of that snow melts by afternoon. Looking ahead. Thursday stays cool in the low 40s, but another system brings snow Thursday night into Friday. The weekend looks beautiful though. Highs near 50 Saturday and Sunday. By Monday we could hit the mid 50s. On this day in 1971. Portland got walloped with 26 inches of snow. Today won't be that wild. But it's a reminder that March in Maine keeps winter on the table. In Sunrise is at 6, 16 A.M. Sunset at 5:33 P.M. We're gaining nearly 3 minutes of daylight. Charge your phone before you head out. That wet snow can knock out power if the wind picks up. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

    3/2 Maine Weather 6 PM: Feels Like 5 Degrees
    Mar 3 2026
    Good evening. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. That brilliant sunshine overhead? It's actually working against you tonight. High pressure is parked right over us, acting like an open window to the Arctic. There are no clouds to trap the heat, so all that warmth just vanishes into space. You step outside and feel 19 degrees, but it feels sharper because the air is so dry. In the next 24 hours. Enjoy the quiet today. Because things change tomorrow. Tonight, the temperature crash is on. Down along the South Coast, you drop to 13 degrees. but head inland? Bangor falls to 3 above zero. The Western Mountains bottom out at minus 7. Up in The County, you're looking at minus S One. With those winds, it will feel like minus 10 in Aroostook. That's serious cold. Tuesday starts deceptively nice with mid-30s and sunshine. but watch the sky after lunch. Clouds thicken up. Snow starts near Portland right around 3 P.M. It sweeps northeast, reaching Bangor and Downeast by evening. Tuesday night is the commute you'll want to avoid. A swath of wet snow crosses the state. Expect 1 to 3 inches inland. Downeast gets 2 to 4. The coast might see a mix of rain. Plan on slick roads for Wednesday morning. But look at that quick rebound. Wednesday clears out fast and highs jump to near 50 degrees. We stay mild Thursday with a chance of snow up north. Friday brings a mixed bag of precipitation. but this weekend? Highs climb into the 50s. That mild air will eat your snowpack fast. By the way, maple sugaring season starts in just 13 days. These cold nights and warming days are exactly what the sap needs. We see the sunrise at 6:17 A.M. and set at 5:31 P.M., gaining nearly 3 minutes of daylight today. Set your alarms a little early tomorrow. You'll thank me when you see the roads. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Minus 6 degrees right now. Feels like minus 19. Your car battery is questioning its life choices. Highs only reach 21 under bright sun.

Then Tuesday night, a coastal low sneaks in and drops 1 to 4 inches of snow on Bangor and Downeast by Wednesday morning. The rest of the week? A full pattern shift. Temperatures keep climbing into the 40s and even flirting with 50 degrees by the weekend. Mixed precipitation possible Thursday and Friday as milder air muscles in.
