2:58 PM EDT Thu Mar 27 2025

Waves of low pressure will track along a stationary front bringing snow, sleet, and freezing rain to the region Friday night into Saturday evening.

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.
