  • Maine Weather 3/5 Evening - Snow Day Dreams

    Maine Weather 3/5 Evening - Snow Day Dreams
    Mar 6 2026
    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.

  • Maine Weather March 5 Midday - Cloudy

    Maine Weather March 5 Midday - Cloudy
    Mar 5 2026
    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. If you've got early plans tomorrow, charge your phone tonight and scrape that windshield before you leave. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

  • Maine Weather March 5 Morning - Unseasonably Cold

    Maine Weather March 5 Morning - Unseasonably Cold
    Mar 5 2026
    Good morning. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. Right now. Maine's split wide open. Portland's sitting at 29 degrees. Bangor's at 20. And out in The County? A brutal 8 degrees with wind chills near minus 5. That's a 21-degree spread before you've finished your first coffee. In the next 24 hours. Today stays quiet. Mostly cloudy skies. Portland climbs to 35 degrees — about 5 degrees below normal for early March. The mountains and northern spots struggle to crack the upper 20s. Enjoy the calm while it lasts. Tonight. 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. If you're up late watching the snow fall, you'll have plenty of light to see it. Here's your heads-up for the week ahead. Saturday and Sunday stay mild in the 40s. Monday climbs into the low 50s. Tuesday hits that 58-degree peak. Then we cool back down to reality by Wednesday. Northern Maine, enjoy the quiet while southern areas dig out tomorrow. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
