<body><div>BANGOR, Maine (WABI) - High pressure that was in control today will depart the region tonight. It will be cold with a few passing clouds. Temperatures will drop into the single digits and teens. Winds will be much lighter overnight, meaning wind chill values will not play that big of a role. A FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAY has been issued for Tuesday afternoon through mid-morning on Wednesday as accumulating snow is likely. These are big holiday travel days which has weighed into issuing the First Alert. <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=482kKW_17WoBXre00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=482kKW_17WoBXre00" width="1300" height="720" ><figcaption>Big travel days ahead and accumulating snowfall will make for a few issues. (wabi)</figcaption></figure>It will be a quiet start to Tuesday with some sunshine to start the day. Clouds increase by late morning through the early afternoon. An area of low pressure will bring snowfall in southern and western communities starting by early afternoon and then will spread north and east through the early evening. <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=4Zwj9V_17WoBXre00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=4Zwj9V_17WoBXre00" width="1300" height="726" ><figcaption>Snow will spread from southwest to northeast Tuesday afternoon/evening. (wabi)</figcaption></figure>Expect impacts to the evening commute. As the low passes to our south Tuesday night, an inverted trough will set up across some MidCoast communities including the Augusta region. Along this trough is where we will see the most intense snowfall and where the highest totals will be located. If this trough shifts farther northeast or southwest, then totals would be greatly impacted. The snow will wrap up by late in the morning on Wednesday, with some MidCoast communities seeing their snowfall end last. Snowfall totals will be lightest the farther north and east you go. Parts of Aroostook County and eastern Washington County should expect 1-3″. A good chunk of the region including Bangor, Waterville, the Foothills and Mountains are looking at 3-6″. Once you get towards Augusta and Midcoast, this is where at this point in time the inverted trough will position itself. This is where we think the highest totals will be. Expect 6-10″ of snow are expected. <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3kN63h_17WoBXre00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3kN63h_17WoBXre00" width="1300" height="725" ><figcaption>Accumulating snowfall will bring hazardous road conditions Tuesday evening through Wednesday morning.

Another quick disturbance will bring some light snow for Christmas morning as it moves from northwest to southeast. Only light accumulations of a quick coating to an inch or two will be possible during the morning. It will be drier by the afternoon with highs in the 20s and low 30s. High pressure will start to build in Thursday evening. This will bring colder air and a breeze with it. Expect sub-zero wind chills into Friday morning. The rest of Friday is cold with highs in the single digits and teens. It will FEEL colder due to the breeze. Another cold night Friday night into early Saturday.
