Good morning! I'm DJ Huzz. And welcome to the Maine Weather Podcast. It's Wednesday, February 25th. Folks, that clear sky above you right now? It's a trick. Snow is coming.. And it's got your commute in its crosshairs. Step outside and you'll feel 10 degrees. Wicked cold. But here's the twist. By 3 P.M., Portland jumps to 38 degrees. That's a nearly 30 degrees swing in one day. Temperatures climb above the February average, about 4 degrees warmer than normal. Now let me walk you through the timing, because it matters. Down along the coast, snow reaches Portland around 7 A.M. It peaks near 10 A.M. You're waking up at 16 degrees around 5 A.M., so layer up before you leave. Winds shift southwest by 7 A.M., gusting to 15 miles an hour around 1 P.M. Push up to Augusta and Waterville. Snow starts around 9 A.M., peaks near 11 A.M. High around 32 degrees. Tonight drops to 22. Over in Bangor, you're starting the day at 2 degrees. Snow rolls in by 10 A.M. and sticks around until 6 P.M., peaking near 1 P.M. You don't hit 34 degrees until 5 P.M. Downeast gets the longest snow window. 10 A.M. all the way to midnight. High near 36 degrees. The Western Mountains? MinU S Two to start. Feels like minus 5 around 7 A.M. That's the kind of cold that stings your lungs. Snow runs 9 A.M. to 2 P.M. High only 26 degrees. Aroostook wakes up at 2 below around 7 A.M. Snow arrives late, near 11 A.M. And keeps falling overnight. High around 27 degrees. Most areas see 1 to 4 inches. Nothing catastrophic. Fun fact.. On this day in 1969, Portland got buried under 20 inches with 50 mile an hour winds. We're getting off easy. Tonight, skies clear south to north. Lows range from 14 in the mountains to 26 along the coast. Thursday brings full sunshine. Highs near 37 degrees. The week ahead tells a story. Things warm steadily into Saturday. Low to mid 40s, mostly sunny. Perfect for an early taste of maple sugaring season.. Then Saturday night, an arctic front crashes the party. Sunday and Monday turn brutal.

That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!
Good evening! I'm DJ Huzz. And welcome to the Maine Weather Podcast for Tuesday, February 24th. Folks — winter's got its grip locked tight on us tonight. And it's not letting go anytime soon. Step outside right now and you'll feel it. That cold is **biting**. Down in Portland, you're sitting at about 20 degrees, but wind chills are making it feel closer to single digits. **Brutal**. Up toward Bangor, temperatures have dropped into the low teens. And if you're anywhere near The County? You're flirting with zero. Presque Isle is **frigid** tonight, no two ways about it. Here's what I'm watching. We've got a clipper system sliding through overnight that's going to dust us with a couple inches of light, powdery snow. Nothing major — maybe two to four inches across the interior, less along the coast. But here's the thing. That light snow on top of already icy roads? **Hidden black ice** is going to be a real problem for your Wednesday morning commute. You'll want to give yourself extra time and slow way down. Heading into the rest of the week, Wednesday stays cold with highs barely cracking the mid-twenties statewide. Skies clear out by afternoon, though, so at least you're getting some sunshine. Thursday? More of the same. High pressure parks itself over New England and gives us a couple of dry, cold days. Perfect conditions up at Sugarloaf and Sunday River if you're looking to hit the slopes — that fresh dusting on top of the packed base is going to ski **beautifully**. Here's your heads-up for the weekend. I'm keeping my eye on a potential Nor'easter developing Saturday into Sunday. It's still early. And the models aren't in agreement yet, but there's enough signal there that you should be paying attention. We could be talking significant snow. I'll have a much better read on that by Thursday's show. If you're heading out tonight. Layer up, cover exposed skin. And keep those pets inside. That's the kind of cold that sneaks up on you, folks. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow with updates on that weekend storm. Take care!
