LEWISTON — Central Maine residents almost certainly woke up to some snow on the streets Sunday; the question of how much was the uncertainty on Saturday.

“It depends on where the heavier precipitation sets up,” said forecaster Chris Kimble of the National Weather Service in Gray. “It could still set up offshore. But the second question is whether temperatures will get cold enough for snow and for snow to stick and accumulate. We have increased confidence that we will see those temperatures cold enough. We’re still unsure just how much could accumulate.”

The National Weather Service lifted a winter storm warning for Maine west of Lewiston to the New Hampshire border Saturday night, keeping a hazardous weather outlook in place.

Kimble said he still expected to see some snow in the area but not as much.

“We are expecting1 to 3 inches in Lewiston and the area around that,” he said.

The bulk of the snow will fall east of Lewiston, with Farmington, Augusta and Millinocket remaining under a winter storm warning until Sunday night. Kimble said those areas could see up to 4 inches of soggy snow Sunday morning.

“But we are mostly concerned about gusty winds and wet snow sticking to trees, leading to tree limbs coming down,” Kimble said. “That’s why we’re keeping the winter storm warning over there.”

A wet storm dropped snow on parts of North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia on Saturday.

Kimble said the storms should clear out Saturday night and into Sunday, with temperatures in the 40s through Tuesday.
