Today - Friday
Low pressure will continue to move southeast out of Québec and
off the Maine coast today. The low will then continue to track to
the south of Nova Scotia and out into the Western Atlantic tonight.
Fort Kent and surrounding locations will see snow with additional
accumulations between 1 and 3 inches and locally higher amounts
possible. Drivers should plan on slippery road conditions, and the
hazardous conditions could impact the Wednesday morning and evening
commutes. Cloudy/mostly cloudy skies today with highs in the upper
20s and an east-northeast wind 4-5 mph. Tonight, mostly cloudy skies
with a chance of snow showers. Lows in the middle 10s with north
wind 5-10 mph.
A strong disturbance in the upper atmosphere, currently over
Newfoundland, is expected to drift westward through the end of the
week before turning south into northern New England this weekend.
The disturbance is expected to bring enough instability for
scattered snow showers, especially across the northern Maine,
including the Saint John Valley.
Thursday features partly sunny skies in the morning with
diminishing clouds in the afternoon/evening. Highs in the low 20s
with breezy northwest wind 10-15 mph gusting to 25 mph at times.
Thursday night will be clear and cold with overnight lows in the 0
to 5 above range for most Valley locations.
Friday, high pressure at the surface brings mostly sunny skies
and cold temperatures to the SJV with highs in the low 20s. West
wind in the 5-10 mph range with gusts to 25 mph possible.Skies
become partly cloudy Friday night with lows falling to around 5
above. A chance of snow showers develops overnight. West wind 0-7
mph expected Friday night.
Saturday - Tuesday
An upper low will move across the Northeast Saturday into
Sunday keeping a chance of snow showers across the Valley
Saturday. The air mass is pretty dry, so available moisture
limited, which should serve to keep precipitation amounts
limited. Even so, steep temperature changes with height could
allow brief, heavier snow showers to develop Saturday, reducing
visibility and affecting travel. Gusty winds may also accompany
these showers. High in the upper 20s expected Saturday. Mostly
cloudy skies Saturday night with lows falling into the 0 to 5
above range.
A strong storm system may take shape over the southeastern
United States late this weekend before moving off the Carolina
coast early next week. There is still considerable uncertainty
about exactly where this system will track with the American and
Canadian models moving it off the Southeast and out-to-sea.
However, the European model tracks it further northeast and
close enough to bring impacts to the area. So, the late weekend
weather will be dependent on which of the models proves most
accurate.
At present, Sunday looks mostly sunny and dry with highs in
the upper 20s. Skies become partly cloudy Sunday evening and
mostly cloudy overnight with lows falling to near 10 above.
President's Day begins with partly sunny skies with clouds
increasing later in the day. Highs reach the low 30s with mostly
cloudy skies Monday night and temperatures in the mid-10s along
with a slight chance of snow.
Tuesday, partly sunny skies expected as high pressure over
the Mid-Atlantic builds in and the oceanic low moves away. Highs
in the low 30s. Tuesday night, mostly cloudy skies with a slight
chance of snow in the evening and lows falling into the mid-10s.

Updated February 11, 2026
Updated February 11, 2026
Today -
Friday
From Wednesday
through Friday morning, an active weather
pattern will affect several parts of the
country. In California, a Pacific storm will
continue bringing steady rain to coastal areas
and the Central Valley, while heavy snow falls
in the Sierra Nevada. Moisture spreading inland
will lead to increasing chances for rain and
mountain snow across the Great Basin and central
Rockies, with snow heaviest in higher
elevations. Snow showers will also persist
downwind of the Great Lakes and across parts of
the Appalachians and northern New England.
Meanwhile, much of the central and southern U.S.
will remain unusually warm for mid-February,
with temperatures 15 to 20 degrees above average
in some areas before cooler air settles into the
Northeast and Great Lakes.
Saturday
- Tuesday
From Saturday
through early Wednesday, an active weather
pattern will affect much of the country. A
strong system moving across the southern
states will bring widespread rain from the
Southwest to the Southeast and up the East
Coast. Some areas, especially from the
southern Plains into the Mississippi Valley,
could see moderate to locally heavy rainfall,
with a low risk of localized flooding. There
is also some uncertainty about whether parts
of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast could see
wintry precipitation on the northern side of
the system. Meanwhile, a developing storm
along the West Coast will bring periods of
heavy rain to California and significant
mountain snow to the Sierra, with
precipitation spreading inland.
Warmer-than-average temperatures are expected
across the central U.S., while cooler
conditions settle into the West.
⛈️Thunderstorm/Severe
Weather Outlook⛈️
Wednesday:
Severe thunderstorms are not expected
today. Across California and the Great Basin, a
slow-moving area of low pressure in the upper
atmosphere near the San Francisco Bay area will
keep unsettled conditions in place. Cooler air
aloft combined with limited daytime heating may
allow a few brief showers and isolated
thunderstorms to develop. Any storms that do
form will be relatively weak and short-lived,
though a few lightning strikes are possible.
Overall, the atmosphere will not have enough
energy to support strong or severe storms.
Farther east, a cold front will continue moving
southeast across the Southeast and reach the
Carolina coast later today. Scattered showers
and perhaps a rumble of thunder are possible
this afternoon before activity diminishes this
evening.
Thursday:
Thunderstorms are not expected on
Thursday. High pressure in the upper
atmosphere will remain in place over the
central United States, helping to keep
conditions dry and stable for much of the
country east of the Rockies. Farther west, a
developing upper-level trough moving into the
Great Basin and southern California will bring
slightly cooler air aloft. This cooling could
create a brief window for weak instability,
and an isolated lightning strike cannot be
completely ruled out, especially near Utah.
However, dry air moving in at mid-levels of
the atmosphere by late morning should quickly
limit any storm development, keeping overall
thunderstorm chances very low.
Friday: Isolated
strong thunderstorms may develop Friday
evening into the overnight hours across parts
of western Texas, with the main concern being
small to marginally severe hail. During the
day, increasing moisture flowing north from
the Gulf of Mexico will combine with cooler
air moving in aloft as a storm system
approaches from the Southwest. This setup will
gradually make the atmosphere more unstable
late in the day. Scattered thunderstorms are
expected to form during the evening,
especially as winds strengthen a few thousand
feet above the ground. Because the storms will
likely develop after sunset, they should
remain elevated rather than surface-based,
limiting the overall threat. However, a few
storms could become strong enough to produce
hail up to around one inch in diameter.
Saturday
- Wednesday: From Saturday through
Sunday, a developing storm system will move
from Texas across the Deep South and into the
Southeast. Showers and scattered thunderstorms
are expected to spread from eastern Texas and
the lower Mississippi Valley on Saturday into
Alabama, Georgia, and the Carolinas by Sunday
as a cold front pushes east. While a few
stronger storms are possible, the overall
severe weather threat remains uncertain.
Limited instability and questions about how
much Gulf moisture can move north may keep the
risk on the lower end. Periods of steady rain
could also reduce the atmosphere’s ability to
become more unstable. Early next week, drier
and calmer weather is expected as high
pressure builds in, though the pattern becomes
less certain by midweek.
