We are approaching the peak of the Atlantic Hurricane season, so it might be a good idea to freshen up on what to do in the event of a landfall in Maine.

Wow, a hole-punch cloud, AKA a fallstreak hole! This cloud forms when the water temp within the cloud is below 32°F but the water has yet to freeze. As parts of the water begin to freeze, water vapor around the cloud freezes, leaving a strange hole in the middle.

Updated Snow Map....
Northern York county will be the jackpot for heavy snow and higher accumulations. 5-10" expected along the coastline. Stay tuned for more updates on CBS13 at Noon.

This is a look at Higgins Beach in Scarborough. 🏖️
High tide & large waves sent water into Bayview Ave, closing it down. 🌊
Check out all that foam! Looks like soap. 🧼

A look at tomorrow's forecast has some clouds and fog developing early on giving way to developing sun in the afternoon. A chance for showers or storms is not out of the question, though.

Here’s a first look at our snow map for Tuesday. Once again, best chance for larger accumulation amounts will be in southern ME and NH.
TIMING: Snow begins to move in around sunrise for southern ME, will be in central Maine mid to late morning on Tuesday.
#mewx
New, updated snowfall map for Tue. Vast majority of us will receive 3-6" with further northeast up to 8" possible.
TIMING: Begins 3-7am based on location. Heaviest snowfall will run from late AM through the evening commute. Things will clear out by late evening.

It’s going to be a tough couple of hours for western FL. Updated models are showing that
#Idalia
could now make landfall as an extremely dangerous Cat 4 Hurricane.

Wow! T-Storms and showers brought a lot of precipitation to our neck of the woods overnight. Just under 4 inches near Sebago and a little over 4 inches up in Andover.

A beautiful shelf cloud rolled through Scarborough this evening. This is one of the best shelf clouds I have ever seen. And of course, a rainbow at the end! 🌈

I know where I'll be tomorrow! Mid-70s and sunny conditions on the coast for Friday. We're slowing but surely returning to June weather!

Tropical Storm Emily has formed in the Atlantic. Note that there are also several other disturbances that are being monitored for potential development.
More info:
With a very dark sky ahead (the moon will be 2% full), there is a very good chance to catch the Aurora Borealis from Saturday night into Sunday. Auroral activity is set to be high with a Kp of 6.
Mainers and New Englanders, don't forget to look north!
#MEwx
What's that you see? A lightning bolt in November! Some heavy showers and a few quick thunderstorms to move through the area over the next couple hours. Wind is picking up too causing a Special Marine Warning for the Casco Bay area.

Hello all! I am looking for your favorite sunset photos in Maine for a segment tonight.
Please comment down below your picture and where you took it! Thank you!
Our final call for snowfall accumulations. We upped the totals in Southern Maine where the most accumulation is expected, around 10-15".
Northern York and Cumberland counties up through Augusta 6-10", and lesser amounts further north.

Good evening! Here's a look at your evening. Expect mostly clouds with temperatures heading on down into the mid-50s. Don't be surprised if you feel a rain drop or two out on the coast, as there are showers in York County for this evening. Inland looks dry. Enjoy!

Happy first day of Spring! ☀️💐 Spring officially begins here on the east coast at 5:24 PM. We are currently residing in a high pressure system this morning bringing us plentiful sunshine!

With most of the northeast under Air Quality Alerts, the thickest smoke moves out of the region midday Thursday. The upper-low centered over Maine could possibly attract that smoke as it lingers above us. We could see that smoke come Friday.
