Maine will be dealing with its fourth snowstorm of the month this weekend, two days after the state endured a storm that brought slippery conditions.

According to Spectrum News’ team of weather experts, the state will be seeing more snow this time around compared to the last. Inland Maine and the coast could see anywhere between five and eight inches while northern Maine, including towns like Rangely and Caribou, could see snow upwards of a foot and a half.

“Mainers should expect to see heavy dry snow tonight [Saturday] before it transitions to the wetter, heavier stuff by tomorrow morning [Sunday] along the coast,” said Spectrum News meteorologist Zachary Covey. “Snow will likely stay lighter inland, but sleet could mix in by noon along the coast, and maybe freezing rain by 6 p.m. before going back to all snow Sunday night.”

Previously mentioned, this is the fourth snowstorm Maine has seen in February. The frequency of these storms does not surprise Covey, attributing the recent snowstorms to the jet stream.

“This is the time of the year when the jet stream starts to become a little odd as the South warms up but the North stays cold,” said Covey. “This sets up a big battleground for storms to develop and only continues to ramp up the next few months.”

Covey recommends Mainers to stay inside as much as possible, saying it will bring slick roads and difficult travel across the state. He does understand that some people will need to go outdoors, and in this case recommends driving carefully and staying a safe distance from the cars around you.

“It’s important to drive very slowly in these conditions, as you never know whether you’ll hit ice or not,” said Covey. “My best advice is to stay at least five feet from the car in front of you and behind you. Safety is always important, and if it means waiting until the next day for something, it’s worth the wait.”
