First Alert Weather

BANGOR, Maine (WABI) - High pressure will continue to bring us sunshine today with a few high clouds moving in this afternoon as an area of low-pressure approaches from the west. Temperatures will reach the 50s to around 60° for highs this afternoon. This will bring impacts to the region come Friday into Saturday morning. A wintry mix will begin for some on Friday morning especially towards parts of the west and south. Rain will continue to spread to the east as the low setups off-shore. Winds will pick up out of the northeast and could gust in excess of 30 mph Friday night into Saturday morning. Best chance of snow will stay mainly to the west in the higher elevations, but some mixing, with wet heavy snow, will be possible closer to the coast as temperatures drop Friday night into Saturday morning. For now, snowfall accumulations will be highest in the higher elevations. Drier weather is expected by the second half of the weekend and into early next week.
