Weather forecast calls for up to 4 inches of snow Wednesday

At the National Weather Service office in Gray, forecasters were wary of making predictions of how much snow the big winter storm might bring to ME, if any.

Wind gusts ranged from 20 to 30 miles per hour Tuesday morning helping to make temperatures feel as cold as -6 degrees in Martinsburg with the wind chill.

The Highway Services division of the Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) announced Tuesday it’s tracking the snowstorm and expects to have a more complete forecast Wednesday evening.

But the NWS said it is still too early to accurately predict how much snow will fall.

Here’s what the National Weather Service and AccuWeather expect the weather to look like today and Wednesday. The expected high temperature in Chapel Hill on Tuesday is 31 degrees and the low will be 10. Clouds will build in Wednesday afternoon with a chance for a few snow showers or flurries Wednesday night.

Thursday: Mostly cloudy, high near 25.

Despite the growing certainty over the snow threat no snow accumulations have been projected as of yet.

There’ll soon be some snow to go along with the biting cold now gripping Greater Cincinnati. “Somebody’s going to get walloped”, said Victor Gensini, a meteorology professor at College of DuPage outside of Chicago, which should be spared. The latest EUROPEAN model run has shifted farther south, keeping the heaviest snow southwest of the Delaware Valley.

Prior to Wednesday’s chance of wintry precipitation, Reagan said the low temperatures are something else to watch out for. Skies will be mostly cloudy through the day with high only reaching the middle teens and wind chills sticking around zero all day.
