AFTER MIDNIGHT. AS TEMPERATURES REMAIN NEAR OR BELOW FREEZING...
THERE COULD BE A MIXTURE OF SNOW...SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN LATE

AS LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES FROM THE SOUTHWEST THROUGH THIS
WEEKEND...THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE A CHANCE OF MIXED WINTRY
PRECIPITATION ACROSS INTERIOR SECTIONS THROUGH A GOOD PORTION OF
SATURDAY. THE BEST CHANCE FOR PROLONGED PERIODS OF SLEET...FREEZING
RAIN AND SNOW WILL BE ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE INTO NORTH
CENTRAL MASSACHUSETTS INCLUDING THE WORCESTER HILLS...AS WELL AS
THE EASTERN SLOPES OF THE BERKSHIRES. THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE
LIGHT DURING THE DAY ON SATURDAY...BUT THE MIXTURE COULD STILL
CAUSE SLOW TRAVEL. TEMPERATURES WILL SLOWLY RISE LATE SATURDAY OR
EVEN SATURDAY NIGHT...SO THE MIXED PRECIPITATION WILL EVENTUALLY
CHANGE OVER TO ALL RAIN. TRAVEL WILL BE RATHER SLICK AT TIMES.
WHILE A GENERAL ICE STORM IS NOT EXPECTED AT THIS TIME...SCATTERED
POWER OUTAGES MAY OCCUR.
