After the snow, strong winds on Monday

PRETTY MUCH EVERYBODY. I DON’T HAVE ANY REPORTS OF SLEET. THE THING IS, CONNOR, IT’S COMING DOWN WITH A PRETTY GOOD BURST OF SNOW. MANY COMMUNITIES SLAPPING DOWN ANOTHER INCH OR TWO ON TOP OF WHAT WE HAD. MANY AREAS DID GET SOME SLEET DURING THE AFTERNOON. NOW, THESE ARE NOT FINAL SNOWFALL TOTALS. THEY HAVEN’T TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS. BUT YOU KNOW, AS OF SEVEN, 8:00 THIS EVENING, LAST REPORT I GOT OUT OF RANGELEY WAS 6.5IN OUT AT THE JETPORT WITH SIX AND A HALF OR SO CLOSE TO IT. KITTERY POINT. ROCKPORT AS WELL. YOU CAN SEE MOST AREAS COMING IN IN THAT RANGE DOWN TO 25. IN PORTSMOUTH THEY HAD BEEN UP INTO THE 30S BEFORE THE COLDER AIR CAME IN. PORTLAND IS DOWN TO 1817. LEWISTON, AUBURN 17. IN AUGUSTA. THE ONLY PLACE I CAN FIND ANY SLEET OR RAIN IS EAST OF MDI. YOU’RE DOWNEAST. STILL DEALING WITH THAT WARM SLIVER OF AIR THAT CAME IN ABOVE US. EVERYBODY ELSE, THE WIND HAS COME AROUND TO MORE OF A NORTHWESTERLY DIRECTION. IT’S BRINGING IN THE COLDER AIR, AND YOU CAN ALSO SEE THE BACK EDGE NOW BEGINNING TO WORK ITSELF INTO YORK COUNTY. THIS IS PRETTY PROGRESSIVE. SO I’M GOING TO GIVE IT A FEW MORE HOURS. BUT I THINK, YOU KNOW, COME ONE, TWO, 3:00 DEPENDING ON EXACTLY WHAT TOWN YOU’RE IN, YOU WILL GRADUALLY SEE THAT SNOW TAPER OFF CENTER OF CIRCULATION. THE WHOLE THING LIFTS OUT OF HERE. BEHIND IT, HIGH PRESSURE NOSES IN TOMORROW. BUT NOTE THE TIGHTNESS OF THE ISOBARS HERE IN THE WIND IS GOING TO BE PICKING UP. IT’S A COLD WIND AS WELL AS ANOTHER SHOT OF ARCTIC AIR COMES IN FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. SO THE EIGHT DAY FORECAST, THE STRONG WIND WILL BECOME THE HIGHLIGHT, WITH IMPACT WEATHER EXPECTED TOMORROW. THOSE WIND GUSTS WILL PEAK LUNCHTIME INTO THE AFTERNOON BETWEEN 40 AND 50MPH. I THINK IT’S GOING TO BE A LOT OF 40 AND 45. OCCASIONALLY THEY DO GET UP AS HIGH AS 50. STORM TRACKER PICKING IT UP HOUR BY HOUR. HERE’S WHERE YOU CAN SEE BY 5:00 TOMORROW MORNING. SNOW IS COMING TO AN END. IN FACT, WE’RE IN THE CLEARING OUT PROCESS. ASIDE FROM NORTHERN AREAS MOUNTAINS AND TEND TO HANG ON TO THOSE SNOW SHOWERS A LITTLE BIT LONGER, AND TOMORROW TURNS OUT TO BE A PARTLY SUNNY DAY. AS FAR AS TEMPERATURES GO. 12 TONIGHT IN FRYEBURG, 14 IN PORTLAND. SO NO WARM UP TONIGHT. NO WARM UP TOMORROW. I MEAN, WE’LL GET TO 25 ROCKLAND AT 22 LEWISTON, AUBURN AT 21, BUT WINDHAM NEW GLOUCESTER AND GORHAM. THAT’S A COLD FEBRUARY DAY WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE 20S. SO MY FORECAST FOR TONIGHT, WE HANG ON TO THAT TOTAL WEATHER ALERT WITH SNOW EXPECTED FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. IT WILL BE ENDING DURING THE OVERNIGHT. IT WILL TURN WINDY AND COLDER DOWN TO 14. THOSE WINDS GUSTING TO 35 TOMORROW PARTLY SUNNY. IT’S A COLD WIND. STRONG GUSTS OCCASIONALLY REACHING 45MPH. AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES WITH THE SUN AND CLOUDS REACHING ABOUT 25 NOW. INLAND AREAS AFTER THE IMPACT, WEATHER AND STRONG WINDS. TOMORROW, IT’S STILL WINDY ON TUESDAY, BUT NOT AS WINDY AS TOMORROW. WEDNESDAY LOOKS GOOD. UPPER 20S A CHANCE FOR SOME LIGHT SNOW ON THURSDAY. WE’LL LEAVE IT AT A CHANCE. RIGHT NOW, EVERYTHING I’M LOOKING AT SHOWS PRETTY MUCH A MISS FOR THAT THURSDAY STORM SYSTEM. THERE MAY BE SOME LIGHT SNOW ASSOCIATED WITH IT, BUT IT’S NOT A DIRECT IMPACT. AND THAT’S WHY I’M CALLING IT LIGHT SNOW AFTER THAT. EARLY THOUGHTS ON NEXT WEEKEND.
