Snow Update the Week of January 29

The ever-changing weather landscape means we have to reverse course on the first part of our optimistic outlook for snow this week.

The coastal storm we were hoping for will develop, but it will be just a bit outside. Downeast Maine will receive the brunt of the storm.

The end of the week storm is still very much up in the air. Pieces are in place for a strong storm that develops out of the Ohio Valley and gains strength with energy from the coast. This storm has the potential to bring us heavy snow. The good news is that the timing his improved markedly. If it develops, it will drop snow on us starting Thursday afternoon into Friday, and we will see delays and snow days.

You may see a few flakes tonight due to the coastal storm, but there won't be any accumulation. Temperatures this week will mostly be in 30s, and then with the arrival of the late-week storm we'll see the mercury drop back into the 20s for the weekend.

Keep your fingers crossed about this developing snow situation. But if we do strike out on Friday, it looks like a few more storms are in the pipeline for next week. The good news is we've returned to a very active weather pattern.
