An arctic air mass moves Friday into Maine, and the cold air will stay through Saturday.
Temperatures will peak in the teens and single digits today. Light winds also are expected, according to the National Weather Service. Overnight, clear skies and light winds will let air temperatures fall well below zero. Coastal areas will be warmer.
Sunday will warm up gradually, but it will remain cool through early next week. Light snow showers are possible in late Sunday. The next chance for more widespread precipitation will hold off until at least Tuesday.
