Christmas Flurries Exit Maine as Bitter Cold Moves In

Subzero wind chills arrive overnight, with a late‑weekend mix likely to flip to coastal rain.

Overview

  • Light snow and flurries tapered through Christmas Day with minimal impacts, leaving a dusting to about 2 inches mainly in higher terrain and parts of the mid‑coast.
  • Coastal areas from the shore to the capital stayed mostly dry as skies began to clear during the afternoon.
  • Northwesterly winds strengthen this evening with gusts near 35–40 mph, driving temperatures down and making it feel much colder by Friday morning.
  • Friday turns clear and very cold, with lows in the single digits, highs in the teens, and widespread subzero wind chills early.
  • Late Sunday into Monday brings the next system, starting as a wintry mix and likely changing to rain along the coast, with exact timing still subject to adjustment.
