Last Gasp Of Old Man Winter? Artic Cold, Snow Showers, Wind Gusts Wednesday, This Weekend

GRAY, ME — Weather forecasters are warning of stormy weather on Wednesday and Thursday as well as this weekend.

Is it possible that this is the last gasp of Old Man Winter?

Maybe.

The National Weather Service issued a hazardous weather outlook Tuesday, warning of snow showers, chilly temperatures, and wind gusts on Wednesday and Thursday.

“An arctic cold front will cross the region Wednesday night, bringing the potential for snow showers and a few snow squalls,” the alert said. “Behind this front...northwest winds will strengthen on Thursday with the potential for gusts to 40 mph.”

Another low-pressure system was also expected during the weekend, bringing rain and snow to the upper elevations.

“While rain and snowmelt will cause rises on area rivers,” the alert said, “widespread significant flooding is not expected.”

AccuWeather.com warned that the storm would bring severe thunderstorms to the region after first sweeping through the Midwest and the Rust Belt.

Winds up to 90 mph and possible tornadoes and hail could be expected on Saturday and Sunday.
