Another storm system will bring moderate to heavy snow across most of the state Sunday night into Monday, impacting travel for many at the start of the workweek.

Much of central Maine could see accumulations approach a foot by Monday evening.

What You Need To Know

  • A winter storm will affect Maine Sunday night into Monday

  • Much of Maine is under a Winter Storm Warning or Winter Weather Advisory through Monday afternoon

  • Moderate to heavy snow will lead to hazardous travel conditions

Like last weekend, this weekend will end with another storm system impacting travel Sunday night into Monday. While last weekend's coastal storm brought a variety of hazards, this weekend's storm will come with one main impact: statewide measurable snow.

A few lighter rain/snow showers will become more widespread Sunday afternoon, but the bulk of precipitation associated with this system will arrive Sunday night into Monday, with the steadiest and heaviest impacting the Monday morning commute.

Despite becoming lighter and more scattered Monday afternoon, snow showers could still bring additional travel impacts through the second half of the day into Monday night.

Areas north of I-95 should stay cold enough to see snow from start to finish, but milder areas farther south will likely see rain at the onset. As temperatures drop toward freezing Sunday night, much of the state will see a changeover to snow.

The only exception will be the immediate coastline, which could stay mild enough to see mainly rain or a wet wintry through this entire event.

Regardless, much of Maine is under a Winter Storm Warning or a Winter Weather Advisory through Monday afternoon.

Moderate to heavy snowfall will bring the highest totals across central Maine, where accumulations could reach between 8 to 12 inches by the time snow eases on Monday. Locally higher amounts could measure over a foot in some of the mountain areas.

Lighter snow will yield lower accumulations across the Crown of Maine, where totals could range between 2 to 6 inches. There will also be a sharp cut-off in accumulations closer to the coast because of more rain and mixing there.

Amounts aside, periods of heavy snow could reduce visibility significantly and accumulate quickly to surfaces, making for dangerous driving conditions. Those who do not need to be out on the road should stay home to avoid hazardous travel.
