Emergency Managers' Self Brief Home

Good morning! *Shortwave passes through, bringing a chance of light snowfall across the Downeast region this morning. Up to 1-2 inches of accumulation expected. Could cause some slick travel for the morning commute. Drive slow and allow for extra time to get where you need to be. *Next low pressure system approaches this afternoon, bringing another round of precipitation. Generally begins as snow inland, but switches to rain in areas south of Houlton and Greenville. Chance for a narrow corridor of freezing rain in the Central Highlands late this evening, with ice amounts measuring to a trace to 0.01 inch. Snow persists in the north throughout the afternoon into evening. Potential for 5-8 inches of accumulating snowfall to fall. Current uncertainty lies in where exactly the rain/snow line will set up, so forecasted accumulations may vary depending on the track of this system. *Small Craft Advisory over the waters beginning early this morning, and a Gale Warning out for later this afternoon. Seas as high as 10 ft over the outer waters tonight. *Gusty winds expected Thursday and Friday. For more information, please visit weather.gov/car
