BRUNSWICK, Maine — A spring snowstorm predicted to arrive overnight Sunday appears to have headed out to sea and likely will bring only a few inches of snow, if any, to parts of Maine.

“It doesn’t at this point look to be a huge storm,” meteorologist Chris Norcross of the National Weather Service in Caribou said Saturday morning. “It’s really going to depend on the track of the storm, which at this point is still uncertain.”

Down East is most likely to see accumulating snow, and Bangor could see up to a couple of inches at the earliest late Sunday night and into Monday, Norcross said.

Further south and west, meteorologist James Brown of the National Weather Service in Gray said “over the last 24 hours or so it’s beginning to look like we’re probably not going to get a lot of snow out of this or hardly any at all.”

A warm front bringing rain likely will pass through the state Wednesday into Thursday, according to Brown, and may start off as snow, particularly in the mountains.
