A strong extra-tropical cyclone, that was once Hurricane Noel only a few days ago, is pounding New England and the Canadian Maritimes with strong winds gusting over 50 mph, heavy rain, and even heavy snow in northwestern Maine and southeast Quebec. The minimum surface pressure of the cyclone was 975 mb as of 0600 UTC, which is very low for a mid-latitude cyclone. Shown below is a regional radar loop from 2330 UTC to 0500 UTC, with blue representing snow and pink representing rain/snow mix.


The surface map from this region as of 0600 UTC shows maximum wind gusts in the mid 40s mph mainly along the coastal areas, with heavy snow falling in parts of Quebec just north of Maine. The higher elevations of northwestern ME are likely experiencing very heavy, wet snow and gusting winds tonight, with power outages a certainty.
