A slow moving area of low pressure will linger over the region through Wednesday, resulting in a continued threat for strong winds and significant accumulating snow.

Region 4
An intense area of low pressure is forecast to lift northeast into the region late Wednesday night into Thursday evening. This system will bring widespread and possibly heavy precipitation to Region 4. Uncertainty remains in how much cold air will remain in place ahead of the low. Snowfall accumulations of 6-12 inches can be expected. Winds of 25 mph are expected, with the combination of blowing and falling snow reducing visibilities to less than half a mile at times.

Major Cities in Region: Caribou, ME

Region 4 Wednesday, November 30, 2016Region 4

Tropical Update
No tropical activity is expected within the next 48 hours.

A Look Ahead
A surface low will develop over Northern Mexico, which will allow moisture to spread northward. This will lead to the potential for heavy rain from portions of eastern Texas into of Georgia over the weekend. Two day rainfall totals of 2-4 inches will be possible for much of this region.
