...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY
EVENING...

* WHAT...Heavy mixed precipitation possible. Total snow
  accumulations greater than 6 inches, sleet accumulations around
  one half of an inch, and limited ice accumulations up to one
  quarter inch possible.

* WHERE...Portions of south central, southwest, west central, and
  western Maine and central and northern New Hampshire.

* WHEN...From Friday evening through Saturday evening.

* IMPACTS...Roads, and especially bridges and overpasses, will
  likely become slick and hazardous. Periods of moderate and heavy
  snow in the mountains will combine with low visibility to create
  dangerous driving conditions. There is potential for a corridor
  across central areas to see ice accretion that will bring an
  elevated threat for power outages.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The transition of snow to sleet to freezing
  will waver north and south across the area with interior areas
  south of the mountains likely to see prolonged periods of freezing
  rain.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Monitor the latest forecasts for updates on this situation.
