Good morning. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. Step outside and you'll feel that damp chill cutting right through your jacket. We're waking up to fog so thick in spots you might think you're in a cloud, with temperatures hovering right around freezing. That half-inch of snow from yesterday? It's already turning slushy as we get our first real taste of March's back-and-forth between winter and spring. In Here's what's headed our way, **A Winter Weather Advisory** is in effect for northern and central Maine until 1 P.M. We're talking freezing drizzle and patchy freezing rain through mid-morning—just enough to make untreated roads and sidewalks slick. By late morning, that icy mix changes to plain rain as temperatures climb well above freezing. **Down along the coast**. Portland starts at 33 degrees with areas of fog. You'll see that fog linger through mid-morning before temperatures rise to a very un-March-like 46 degrees—7 degrees above normal. Winds shift to the south and pick up to 10 miles an hour with gusts to 25. Tonight? Mild. Lows only drop to 41, with more drizzle possible overnight. **Head north to Bangor**. And you're waking up to 22 degrees with patchy fog. But here's the twist: by this afternoon, you'll hit 45—nearly 20 degrees warmer than this morning. Rain moves in by late morning, turning heavy at times. Tonight stays unusually warm too, with lows around 35 and steady rain tapering to drizzle. **The mountains?** A whole different story. Freezing rain likely through mid-morning—up to a tenth of an inch of ice possible—before changing to plain rain. Highs reach 47, but tonight drops back to 32 with clearing skies. In **the big picture this weekend, ** We're gaining nearly 3 minutes of daylight. And you can feel spring trying to break through. Sunday brings a taste of what's coming—highs in the 50s for many spots. But don't put away the winter gear just yet. By midweek, we're watching a storm system that could bring anything from rain to snow to a wintry mix, depending on its track. **A perfect day to get outside and soak up that extra sunlight. In **monday tuesday, ** Near-record warmth continues. We're talking highs in the upper 50s—yes, in March. Bangor could challenge its record of 59 degrees set back in 2016. In **wednesday through friday, ** Reality check. A storm system moves in, bringing rain that could mix with or change to snow, especially in northern and mountainous areas. Temperatures drop back to the 30s and 40s by Thursday. And yes, we might even see some accumulation in The County by Friday morning. In **one last note for maple syrup lovers, ** Sugaring season officially kicks off in just 8 days. With this warmup, the sap should really start flowing—great news for local producers! See you tomorrow. See you this afternoon.
Good morning. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. Step outside and you'll feel that damp chill cutting right through your jacket. That's classic early March in Maine. We've got fog clinging to the coast, half an inch of fresh snow lingering from yesterday. And temperatures that are playing hard to get this morning. But here's the twist: spring is making its move. Today's high of 47 degrees in Portland is 7 degrees above normal — and that's just the opening act. Down along the coast. Portland wakes up to areas of fog and a chance of drizzle before 9 A.M. By afternoon, you'll actually feel that hint of spring. Highs reach 46 degrees with south winds gusting to 25 miles an hour. But don't put away the umbrella just yet. Rain likely returns overnight, with temperatures doing something unusual. We're rising from 41 at sunset to 47 by sunrise Sunday. That's right, we're actually getting warmer after dark. Head north to Augusta and Waterville. And you'll find a different story unfolding. Freezing rain and sleet make for a tricky morning commute before changing to plain rain by late morning. Highs still climb to 46 degrees — well above normal — but the real drama happens overnight when rain becomes likely again. One silver lining: Sunday brings mostly cloudy skies and a high near 55. That's 15 degrees above average for early March. The mountains are where winter makes its last stand today. Freezing rain is likely through mid-morning in the Western Mountains. Up to a tenth of an inch of ice could create slick spots on untreated roads. Highs only reach 47 degrees there, but overnight we see rain moving in with temperatures actually rising to around 40. Sunday brings partly sunny skies and a high near 52 — still 12 degrees above normal for this time of year. Up in Aroostook County, they're seeing the most dramatic warmup. After starting at just 18 degrees this morning, temperatures soar to 44 by afternoon. That's a 26-degree jump in 12 hours. Rain becomes likely tonight with temperatures continuing to rise overnight. Sunday brings rain showers likely and highs near 46 — nearly 10 degrees above normal for The County in early March. Looking ahead, we've got a wild temperature rollercoaster coming. Monday and Tuesday bring record-challenging warmth. We're talking highs in the upper 50s to near 60 degrees statewide. That's 20 degrees above normal for this time of year. But don't get too comfortable. By Wednesday, a storm system moves in with rain likely, followed by a sharp cooldown. Thursday could even bring a chance of snow mixing in as temperatures plummet back to the 30s and 40s. The big picture? This is classic Maine March weather. We're gaining nearly 3 minutes of daylight each day now, the maple sugaring season kicks off in just 8 days. And the spring equinox is only 13 days away. But as today proves, winter isn't ready to leave without a fight. Charge your phone before you head out tonight — that cold drain catches everyone off guard this time of year. See you tomorrow. See you this afternoon.
Good morning. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. If you stepped outside this morning, you felt winter's last stand. Snow's been falling overnight, coating roads from Portland through the foothills. We've picked up 2 to 4 inches, with the heaviest wrapping up by mid-morning. That commute? Take it slow. Here's the temperature story. We're stuck in a cold trap today. Portland tops out at 35 degrees. Augusta hits 33. Bangor reaches 35. The coast sits at 33. Western Mountains struggle to 30. Up in The County? You'll be lucky to see 29. That's 12 degrees below normal for early March — spring's knocking, but winter's not answering. Tonight brings the tricky part. Freezing drizzle develops across central and northern Maine. Augusta and Waterville see patchy fog and ice by evening. Bangor gets the same treatment after midnight. Lows drop to the upper 20s south, but The County plunges to 18 degrees. Untreated roads could get slick fast. Saturday morning is when things get interesting. A Winter Weather Advisory kicks in at 6 A.M. For northern and Downeast Maine. Freezing rain and sleet mix across the north until early afternoon, with ice accumulations up to a tenth of an inch. By afternoon, temperatures finally climb above freezing and everything switches to rain. Highs reach the low 40s statewide. Here's your weekend outlook. Sunday brings a warm-up — low 50s with partly sunny skies. Monday pushes into the mid 50s with sunshine. Tuesday could hit 56 to 58 degrees, possibly challenging daily records. But that warmth won't last. A storm arrives Wednesday with rain and snow likely, followed by a sharp cooldown Thursday. Watch those roads this weekend, folks. See you tomorrow. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast See you tomorrow.
Good evening. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. Step outside and you'll feel that classic late-winter chill. With overcast skies overhead. We're sitting at 32 degrees right now. That's five degrees colder than our usual March high of 40. The calendar says spring is close, but the air still says winter. Here's the drama for tonight. A coastal system is spinning up. Snow moves into the Portland area around 8 P.M. It spreads inland overnight. Expect a coating to an inch in the city. Head north to Augusta and you'll see a chance for snow after 5 A.M. The mountains stay mostly cloudy and cold. Down in The County, it's a different story. Lows drop to minus 2 degrees. That's dangerously cold. Friday brings more clouds. Portland tops out near 34 degrees. Snow lingers in the morning before ending. The central region sees a high near 34. Any snow showers end quickly there. Up in Bangor, expect a high of 35 under gray skies. The mountains struggle to reach 30. The County warms slightly to 29 degrees. Friday night is when things get tricky. A warm front pushes in. Temperatures hover right at freezing. This creates a risk for freezing drizzle or patchy fog. It could make for some slick spots on the roads by Saturday morning. You'll want to watch your step. Looking ahead, the pattern shifts fast. Saturday brings drizzle and highs in the 40s. We jump into the 50s by Sunday. Monday looks sunny and beautiful with a high near 54. We might even hit 58 on Tuesday. That's a massive warm-up. It could start melting some of our snowpack. Another system moves in Wednesday. This one brings a chance for rain and snow showers. Highs drop back to the 40s. See you tomorrow. Take care For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast See you tomorrow.
Good afternoon. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. Step outside right now and you're feeling 36 degrees under clear skies. Feels almost calm. But winter's got one more card to play. In the next 24 hours. The South Coast takes the hit tonight. Portland climbs to 35 this afternoon as clouds roll in. Then right around 6 P.M., the snow starts falling. It comes down heaviest around 1 A.M. — expect 2 to 4 inches by sunrise. Friday morning's commute? Plan extra time. Push inland to Augusta and the story softens. You'll hit 30 degrees today. Snow holds off until after 1 A.M. and you're looking at less than half an inch total. Bangor and points north mostly dodge this one. Bangor tops out at 28 under mostly cloudy skies. No significant snow. Downeast stays dry too with highs near 30. The Western Mountains see 27 today, then drop to 12 overnight. And up in The County? Bundle every layer you own. Highs near 18. Lows tonight crash to zero. Tonight's full moon will light up any fresh snow like a postcard. Fun fact — on this day back in 1971. Portland got buried under 26 inches. Today's storm is tame by comparison. Saturday flips the script completely — rain and mid-40s. Sunday we crack 50. By Tuesday? Near 60 degrees under sunny skies. That's a 40-degree swing in five days. Classic Maine. In Sunrise hits at 6, 12 A.M. Sunset at 5:35 P.M. We're gaining nearly three minutes of daylight every day now.

Everything changes. Snow arrives along the South Coast after 7 P.M. Portland's looking at 2 to 4 inches by morning, with the heaviest snow falling around 1 A.M. That's prime sleeping hours, so you'll wake up to a fresh coat. Augusta might see a dusting. Areas north of there stay dry. Friday brings more snow showers to southern areas, possibly mixing with sleet. Highs hold in the low 30s. If you're commuting along the coast, give yourself extra time. Then comes the warm-up. Saturday temperatures climb into the 40s. By Tuesday, we could hit 58 degrees in Portland. That's nearly 20 degrees above normal. Classic March — winter one day, spring the next. Maple sugaring season is just 10 days away. And the spring equinox arrives in about two weeks. One more note — tonight's Full Moon rises at sunset.

Southern and coastal areas from Portland through the Midcoast top out around 45 degrees. Central Maine reaches 47. Bangor hits 47 as well. The Western Mountains sit cooler at 40 degrees with a west wind around 10 miles an hour. But head to The County and it's a different world. Aroostook starts mild at 43 degrees this afternoon.

A storm slides south of us. Portland and coastal areas see snow developing after 7 P.M., mixing with sleet overnight. Expect 1 to 2 inches of accumulation. Central Maine picks up lighter amounts. Friday that system lingers with snow and sleet in the morning, tapering off by afternoon. Then the pattern flips. Saturday through Tuesday we warm up fast.
