Noticeably colder air has arrived to the region – air that as of mid-morning was 45 degrees colder than this time Monday in northern Maine.
High temperatures will struggle to get out of the 20s to low 30s from north to south and with an occasional northeast breeze 5 to 15 miles per hour, wind chill values will be stuck in the teens and 20s at the warmest time of the day.

Tuesday night, a disturbance will pass well to our southwest, though clouds on the northern fringe of that same system will move through and may produce a passing flurry. Otherwise, the main weather headline will be a moderation in temperature over the coming days. We'll be well into the 30s Wednesday, and low 40s Thursday and around 40 Friday.
A fast-moving are of low pressure will cross the northeast late Thursday and push offshore by Friday morning.
There will be some pockets of North Country snow (accumulating as much as a few inches by Friday morning in northern Vermont to northern Maine) and a mix of rain/snow showers in central and southern areas that will accompany this system as it pushes through.
Behind it, a shot of colder air will move in for the weekend, with below average temperatures, in the low 30s both Saturday and Sunday despite sunny skies.
Weather
