...ANOTHER SNOW STORM FORECAST TO AFFECT MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE
MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY...

.Another area of low pressure is forecast to develop off the North
Carolina coast Monday, passing south and east of New England and
into the Canadian Maritimes by early Wednesday. Snow is expected
to develop from south to north beginning late Monday night in
southern Maine and New Hampshire reaching mid-coast and central
Maine by early Tuesday morning. The snow will become heavy at
times during the day Tuesday before beginning to taper off Tuesday
night. Snow may linger in the mountains and foothills into
Wednesday. There is still some uncertainty as to the exact track
of this storm. If the storm tracks closer to the coast, more
snowfall would be possible. A track further to the south, and
lower snowfall amounts would be expected.

Winter Storm Watch and Hazardous Weather Outlook Issued For April 1

Winter Storm Watch
URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Gray ME
357 PM EDT Thu Mar 30 2017

...Late season winter storm Friday into Saturday, uncertainties
remain...

.Low pressure will develop over the Mid Atlantic states tonight
and Friday which will then move northeastward to south of Cape Cod
Saturday before departing out to sea thereafter. There remains a
considerable amount of uncertainty in snow amounts even with the
storm beginning Friday morning for portions of the forecast area.
The northward and eastward extent of heavy snowfall is still
uncertain at this time due to continued uncertainties in storm
track. Also, warm air aloft may work in for a time allowing for
mixing with sleet across southern New Hampshire and southernmost
Maine. These factors will have fairly large ramifications for
either higher or lower snow totals than forecast. However,
confidence is high enough in the occurrence of a significant
snowfall to issue a winter storm warning in western and
southwestern New Hampshire for Friday and Saturday. Otherwise,
confidence is not quite high enough for the rest of the watch area
at this time but a significant snowfall remains possible. In
addition, the snow will likely be heavy and wet so power outages
will be possible depending on how much snow falls.

  evening and will increase in intensity Friday night before
  ending Saturday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Slippery roads and low visibilities. The snow will be
  heavy and wet, especially near the coast where the potential
  for power outages will exist.

* Winds...Northeast 5 to 15 mph with gusts up to 20 mph.

* Temperatures...In the lower 30s.

...SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL POSSIBLE TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY...

.Very cold temperatures will combine with strong winds to produce
dangerously cold wind chill values through Sunday morning.

An strong low pressure system will track up the Northeast coast
on Tuesday and will spread heavy snow into Maine and New Hampshire
Tuesday into Wednesday. There is still a good amount of
uncertainty on the track of the storm which could cause large
changes in snowfall forecasts, but at this time there is the
potential for several inches of snow across the entire region.

...WIND CHILL ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 AM EDT SUNDAY...
...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM TUESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...

The National Weather Service in Gray has issued a Winter Storm
Watch...which is in effect from Tuesday afternoon through

  through Sunday morning. On Tuesday expect northeast winds 15 to
  25 mph with gusts to 40 mph.

  winds will make it feel much colder. Frostbite will occur very
  quickly on any exposed skin. Potentially heavy snow next week
  may lead to dangerous travel conditions.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Wind Chill Advisory means that very cold air and strong winds
will combine to generate low wind chills. This will result in
frost bite and lead to hypothermia if precautions are not taken.
If you must venture outdoors...make sure you wear a hat and
gloves.

A Winter Storm Watch means there is a potential for significant
snow...sleet...or ice accumulations that may impact travel.
