First Alert Weather

BANGOR, Maine (WABI) - High pressure is located to our south this morning. This is the reason that we will see some sunshine to start the day. However, as the morning progresses, clouds will begin to take over from southwest to northeast. This is due to a weak area of low pressure developing in the Eastern Great Lakes region. This system will eventually move through Northern New England and pass to our north tonight. Along with this, snow and mix will develop across the state this afternoon. Highs will run in the 30s to low 40s. Near the coast this will quickly transition to rain. This rain/snow line will progress north throughout the afternoon and evening making it as far north as Greenville and Millinocket tonight. The precipitation will generally be light to moderate. Light snowfall accumulations expected in the southern half of the state with a coating to an inch or two. Across the north and mountains, 2-5″ of snow expected. This system clears out around or before midnight for most. Some clearing expected late. Lows will only drop back to the 20s and lower 30s.
