Thursday's Forecast

An Alberta Clipper system will move rapidly southeast from the Great Lakes into the Northeast on Thursday.Daytime high temperatures will be too warm to produce much more than rain throughout much of the Northeast, eastern Great Lakes and Ohio River Valley.

Farther west, enough cold air will surge south into parts of Wisconsin and Michigan to produce some wet snow with only very light, slushy accumulations possible.

Friday's Forecast

Friday, low pressure will wrap up a bit in the Gulf of Maine, then will head into Atlantic Canada.

Colder air will be dragged southward across northern New England on the backside of this system. Moisture wrapping around the surface low into the cold air will wring out accumulating snow from the Adirondacks to northern Maine Friday, tapering off Friday night.

Following last weekend'srecord early double-digit snow event and subsequent power outages, this additional snow may not be a welcome sign in northern Maine.

Model Snowfall Forecast

The heaviest snow will pile up in northern Maine. with totals over 6 inches expected. Some isolated areas in the Allagash of Maine may tally over a foot of new snow through Friday night.

This would add to the 11 to 20 inches that fell the week before. Caribou, Maine already picked up 11.8 inches of snow this month, which is roughly one third of the all-time record snowfall total for November in just a few November days. Last winter was the city's sixth snowiest on record, tallying 150.7 inches of snow.

Current Winter Weather Alerts

Coupled with the snow, gusty winds will develop as the low strengthens. Sustained winds from 10 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph are possible.

In general, these winds will be less strong than what was experienced last weekend. However, we can't rule out additional power outages due to the combination of snow and wind. Also, significant blowing and drifting snow is possible in northern Maine Friday night before winds taper off Saturday morning.

Winter storm watches, warnings, and winter weather advisories have been posted in parts of northern New England.
