A late season storm is bringing the possibility of snow - some of it heavy - to parts of Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
A coastal storm will intensify Thursday afternoon, bringing rain along the coast and snow in western and northern Maine, said Derek Schroeter from the National Weather Service in Gray.
As much as a foot or more of snow could fall on higher elevations of Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
“Once the storm begins, travel will be hazardous,” said Jennifer Harper, New Hampshire Homeland Security and Emergency Management director.
Meanwhile, the midcoast and eastern Maine will be lashed by winds gusting to upward of 50 mph, Schroeter said.
Central Maine Power is urging customers to be prepared for power outages. The company has about 80 CMP line crews, 85 contract crews and 100 tree crews ready to respond, officials said.
Another concern is coastal flooding, Schroeter said. The storm should be winding down by mid-morning on Friday, he said.
