The next winter storm is moving in. This storm will bring both snow and ice to parts of Maine between Monday night and Tuesday.
Monday will be cloudy. A few snow showers are possible in the daytime and evening with perhaps a few tenths of an inch in accumulation. Heavier snows arrives Monday night and lasts through Tuesday.
Interior areas such as Lewiston and Augusta can get from 3 to 6 inches and from 5 to 10 inches in the mountains. About 1 to 4 inches is expected at the coast.
Auburn has declared a parking ban from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Tuesday. Lewiston’s parking ban runs from 9 p.m. Monday until 7 p.m. Tuesday.
We are expecting every type of precipitation with the incoming winter storm except for hail. The type of precipitation we observe not only depends on the temperature at the ground level but also aloft. Below is a simple diagram which explains how each type is formed. #MEwx #NHwx pic.twitter.com/8LmSSN4Rop

The forecast calls for all snow Monday night to very early Tuesday. It remains all snow in the mountains for the whole event, but central inland areas may see some mix.
At the coast, that snow transitions to a wintry mix through Tuesday morning and afternoon, which could lead to extended periods of sleet or freezing rain. Tuesday late afternoon, it should convert back to snow as the system moves away.
Winds may gust over 25 mph Tuesday afternoon.
