URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Gray ME 3:30 PM EST Thu Dec 31 2020 SNOW AND A WINTRY MIX EXPECTED FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. A quick moving system will cross the area Friday night into Saturday. A burst of snowfall is expected on the leading edge of precipitation Friday night followed by a transition to sleet and freezing rain from southwest to northeast.
