Winter Storm Warning – 04/16/2021

URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Gray ME
347 AM EDT Fri Apr 16 2021

...HEAVY WET SNOW EXPECTED...

.Low pressure tracking near Cape Cod will allow precipitation to
continue to spread across the region today. As cold air wraps into
the system, rain will change to a heavy wet snow. The heaviest
accumulations will occur in higher elevations, although
even valley locations will likely see accumulating snowfall. The
sticky, wet nature of the snow will stick most efficiently on trees
and elevated surfaces. The weight of snow on trees will cause tree
limbs to bend or break leading to power outages.
