Spring is little more than a month away. At the end of this week, the Midcoast will get a small sample of spring-like weather.

But not before a little more winter seeps through.

On the heels of two consecutive winter storms that left several inches of snow and rain Thursday, Feb. 13, and several more inches of light snow Saturday, Feb. 15, another storm is moving into the area.

The snow will start Tuesday afternoon around 1 p.m. and end late Tuesday night at approximately 7 p.m., Meteorologist Mike Kistner said.

“It looks like it's going to be a quick-hitter,” he said. “It should be a nice little storm.”

The storm is coming across New Hampshire and should stretch as far east as the Midcoast, Kistner said.

“Depending on where you are, it should start snowing around 1 p.m.,” he said. “I would say expect a solid three to six inches, with some places getting more.”

What will make this storm noteworthy is that all that snow should fall within a small timeframe, Kistner said.

Once the snow has stopped falling, expect a taste of spring.

Warm weather will move into the region and send temperatures that were as low as the teens on Monday all the way up into the mid-40s by the weekend.
