Another nor’easter is expected to hit Maine Wednesday into Thursday and it could bring over a foot of snow.

The fine details will need to be worked out in the coming days but here’s what we know so far.

• The snow will develop Wednesday afternoon.
• The heaviest snow will be Wednesday night through the day Thursday.
• It will be mostly snow, however, some mixing and rain is possible at the coast.
• It’s still too early to determine this far out, but over a foot of snow is possible for parts of the state.
• Winds will be strong out of the northeast. Winds gusting 30 to 40 MPH are possible late Wednesday through Thursday.
• The combination of heavy snow and strong winds may lead to blizzard conditions for parts of the state.
• Tides are not running nearly as high as the astronomical cycle Maine experienced last week.
• Significant coastal flooding is not expected but splash over and beach erosion is possible.
