National Weather Service

A number of national weather forecasters are predicting that Maine will see a mild winter again this year.

I saw this the other day on Keith Carson's Facebook page, our old friend and weatherman at WCSH and now with the Weather Channel, he share that the National Weather Service has released their three-month forecast.

The National Weather Service has declared this week Tsunami Preparedness Week for the State of Maine. What? Is a tsunami actually possible for Maine?  Well, there's good news and bad news. According to the NWS: THE GEORGES BANK SHELTERS THE COAST FROM A MAJOR TSUNAMI THREAT... Read More ...

WSI, a division of The Weather Company, has issued their January through March 2016 outlook update. The forecast includes the potential for a significant cold snap in parts of the central and eastern states starting in the middle portion of January.

Our late afternoon announcer, Mike Poulin, called me the grim reaper, because I told him that we could get up to a foot of snow this weekend. Let me make this perfectly clear, I am not a snow fan. I am just a weather geek.

February is on pace to be the coldest every recorded in many Maine communities, including Bangor and Portland. Besides the cold temperatures, we are also experiencing record amounts of snowfall.

This past month has been one of the most brutal stretches of winter weather in Maine. It is shaping up to be one of the coldest months on record in Maine.

Most of Maine is now under another Winter Storm Warning for Monday. The rugged week plus of winter weather shows no signs of slowing down as another winter storm bears down on Maine.

Many Mainers may have a tough time with Thanksgiving Day travel this week. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for much of Maine.

The National Weather Service has issues a Winter Storm Watch for our area. This is for the following counties: Oxford, Franklin, Somerset, Cumberland, Androscoggin, Kennebec, Waldo, Sagadahoc, Lincoln and Knox.

Daylight Savings Time ends this weekend and it's depressing enough that the sun will be setting at 4:30, but there is a chance for snow this weekend as well.

Tornado and severe thunderstorm warnings were posted in Somerset, Oxford and Franklin county as extreme weather ripped through the state last evening.

Severe weather broke out in northern Maine on Memorial Day. The Caribou National Weather Service office confirmed that a funnel cloud had formed but did not touch down just a mile south of Presque Isle.

The flood watches and warnings are in effect throughout the state of Maine and last night flooding claimed the life of a northern Maine man. According to the Maine Warden Service, Paul Oliver, 74, of Caswell in northern Aroostook county, died from drowning in flood waters.

With warm weather and heavy rain in the forecast, experts are predicting flooding along the Kennebec River on Wednesday into Thursday.

It has been an extremely cold and snow-filled winter and Mainers are bracing for a classic Nor'easter. The National Weather Service currently has a winter storm watch for our area, likely to be upgraded to a winter storm warning as the storm draws closer.
