Sleet in Northwest Aroostook, Maine

Sleet April 5, 2026 · Northwest Aroostook, Maine

What the National Weather Service wrote

System brought up to 1 inch of snow in Northwest Aroostook, alongside 1-1.5 inches of sleet as snow transitioned to sleet. Frenchville ASOS also recorded 0.03 inches of freezing rain. Trained spotter in Madawaska recorded 1.5 inches of sleet.

The wider storm

Low pressure system moved over the Great Lakes region Saturday evening, resulting in warm air advection in the mid-levels. Deep warm nose led to sleet, and then a sleet/freezing rain mix early Sunday morning in the north and Central Highlands region. Very cold low-level layer helped precipitation to refreeze. Roughly an inch or so of snow fell in the north, alongside an inch to an inch and a half of sleet by Sunday morning. Impacts were mainly just a messy clean up period.
