Rain/sleet/snow will continue into the early afternoon, most of us outside the mountains will gradually switch over to sleet or rain. Most precip should wrap up by sunset this evening, with lows falling below freezing again tonight. Thursday will be sunnier and windy as well.
Always something so magical about that first snow of the season 🥰❄️ huge flakes this morning in Portland, but back to rain now.
Rain/snow line moving inland early this AM, if you didn't get any snow at the coast yet, the chance is coming to an end. Snow really ramps up for inland areas over the next hour or so, expect a messy commute this morning. Most change over to sleet/rain by lunchtime. #mewx
Tracking the storm: Snow/rain will begin shortly after midnight, becoming widespread for the early AM. Some flakes at the coast quickly change to rain. Inland areas will likely see moderate to heavy snow for the AM commute, with sleet mixing in as the day goes on. Treacherous travel inland, especially with it being the first storm of the season! #mewx
First Snow of the Season Headed to Maine Wednesday
Meteorologist Christian Bridges has a look at the winter storm headed our way as we head into the middle of the week, join the conversation and let us "snow" what you think about the early season winter weather!
Here's a look at our Wednesday winter storm tracker. Snow begins before sunrise, quickly changing to rain at the immediate coast. A heavy wet snow with temps right around freezing, sleet will also mix in for some inland areas. Snow/rain/sleet wraps up Wednesday evening. #MEwx
Lots of rain on the way for this evening! Enjoy the dry time today, tonight will be a soaker. The sun should return late in the day tomorrow. Have a great weekend everyone, stay dry! See ya Monday AM. #mewx
Here's a look at timing for rain and wind. 2 rounds of rain, one overnight, a lull early Saturday, and then a second round mid-late morning Saturday. Likely a few hours of sun Saturday PM, that boosts temps close to 70. #mewx
Winds will be ramping up after sunset tomorrow, peaking early on Saturday morning. Gusts along the coast will be around 40+ mph, especially midcoast and downeast Maine. Widespread power issues not expected, but some scattered outages are possible. #MEwx
Nicole is heading to Maine! Clouds will increase tomorrow, rain develops after sunset. Rain becomes steady overnight and winds ramp up after midnight. Looks like the worst conditions will be Saturday morning, gradually improving as we head into the afternoon. #mewx
#Nicole makes landfall on Florida tomorrow as a hurricane, and then quickly moves up the east coast. Rain and wind arrive in Maine on Friday evening, continuing through much of Saturday. Not expecting major flooding, but wind gusts will be over 40mph along the coast. #mewx
Heavy rain and wind are looking very likely this weekend in Maine. Current subtropical storm Nicole will make landfall in Florida late this week near hurricane strength. The remnants are then pulled into an approaching storm system, bringing the chance for heavy rain and gusty winds by Saturday. #mewx
From record warmth... to winter cold. We wake up to wind chills in the 20s and 30s tomorrow morning, 30+ degrees colder than this morning! Highs on Tuesday will struggle to get out of the 40s. #mewx
Wow did we luck out with our Halloween weather! Gorgeous out there late this morning. Clouds off to our south and west will overspread the area this afternoon, but it will still be really nice for Halloween festivities. 🎃🎃 #mewx
Heavy rain nearly to the coast of Maine. Minor flooding will be possible from the late morning through mid-afternoon with heavy rain falling for a few hours. Drive carefully in the fog and heavy rain! #mewx
Here's a look at timing for today's rain: It develops late morning, continuing heavy at times through much of the afternoon. A few rumbles of thunder are possible as well. We finally begin to clear out as we head into tonight, much improved weather for Thursday! #mewx
The tropical disturbance brings a round of heavy rain with some embedded storms tomorrow. The axis of heaviest rain looks to be towards the Midcoast and central Maine. Flash flooding will be possible, especially with all the leaf blocked drains across the state. #mewx
Wow that was loud!! Who else is hearing the lightning and thunder in the Portland area? 🙋♂️🙋♂️ #mewx
Pockets of moderate to heavy rain lifting northward into Maine. Expect a wet early and mid afternoon ☔☔ #mewx
Steady rain with some heavy downpours moves in by lunchtime, lasting through the early afternoon. It will be drizzly and damp this evening, and Tuesday will continue that trend with drizzle and light showers through the day. More steady rain Wednesday. #mewx
Good morning Swifties! Hope you enjoyed the Midnight Rain 😉 plenty more rain and drizzle through the rest of Monday. #mewx
Back edge of the steady rain moving into Maine now, improvements to flooding as we head through the morning. Some showers and downpours continue through the mid afternoon. #mewx
Who was woken up by loud thunder overnight?? Impressive downpours moving through this AM, with torrential rain and some lightning. Portland picked up 2.5" of rain already, bye drought! Plenty more rain to go through this morning, watch for flooding! #mewx
Low clouds locked 🔒🔒 into place across southern Maine, with high clouds now overspreading the state as well. It makes for a very cool satellite loop! Rain arrives this evening. #mewx
Here we go again- another strong cold front bringing waves of heavy rain to Maine. This time, things are shifted about 50 miles east. While Tuesday will be wet for all, Midcoast and Downeast Maine will see the most rain, with flood potential as well. #mewx
The worst of the rain and wind still to come as heavy rain lifts north from southern New England. As this heavy rain reaches us, winds will ramp up as well. worst conditions 9am to early afternoon. #mewx
Storm timing: Waves of heavy rain continue through pretty much all of today, finally tapering off around sunset this evening. Winds will be strongest 9am to 3pm, storm total rainfall 2-4" for most. #mewx
The rain and wind has begun, a flood watch and a wind advisory in place today. Already nearly 8000 power outages across Maine, Worst conditions look to be 9am to 3pm. #mewx
Rain begins as some scattered showers this evening, becoming steady to heavy overnight. The worst conditions look to be around 3am to noon Friday, when winds will be strongest and rain will be heaviest. Rain tapers off for the evening, but showers could linger into Sat. #mewx
Key player in our storm: a 2nd area of low pressure that forms over the Mid-Atlantic and lifts into Maine on Friday. This will enhance both intensity and duration of rainfall, which may extend into Friday night. Mountain flood concern very high as this feature increases heavy rainfall.

I tried my best to keep it together....
My last day here at WGME was spent on the anchor desk with Meteorologist Christian Bridges!
I can't say it enough. I'm so grateful for my time here at WGME. I've had the privilege to live out my dream of being a journalist and working in TV for the last 7 years and it's been just so incredible to have spent 4 of them here in Maine.
While I'm saying goodbye to TV news, I'll still be in Maine! With a lot more flexibility to spend time with family and friends.
Again, thank you so much.
