‘Back to winter’
A minor storm could drop one to three inches of wet snow in interior Lincoln County on January 18, but bring mostly rain and possibly a rain-snow mix to the Boothbay peninsula, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service’s Gray office said.
“It’s back to winter tomorrow,” meteorologist Margaret Curtis said Friday evening.
Snow accumulation on the peninsula should be less than an inch, Curtis said. The rain-snow line appears to be right along Route 1, meaning Wiscasset, Dresden, Alna and other interior towns have the better chance of seeing the snow, she said.
It will be a daylong storm, starting in the morning, then bringing the heaviest precipitation in the afternoon and winding down in the evening, Curtis said.
She did not expect wind to be a problem. “This is not a big storm, by any means, but basically a return to winter,” she said.
By Sunday morning, temperatures willl be in the 20’s, so any precipitation still on the roads could freeze over, Curtis said.
