Expires 5:00 PM EDT on May 25, 2013


... Higher elevation snowfall will lead to power outages tonight...

Late this afternoon... mixed rain and wet snow was falling at
elevations between 800 and 1200 feet with accumulating snowfall
above 1500 feet.

These trends will continue through Sunday morning. Snowfall
accumulations will range from a wet trace to 3 inches between 800
and 1500 feet with 4 to 8 inches and locally more possible above
2000 feet... especially in the summits.

This heavy wet snow along with gusty north winds of 15 to 25 mph
along with fully leafed trees will cause scattered power outages
and possibly more widespread outages in the highest elevations.

In addition... roadways above 1000 feet will likely witness some
snow cover but plowable snowfall likely above 1500 feet. If
traveling across higher elevations... please use extreme caution.
Campers and hikers should plan for winter like conditions in the
higher mountain summits this weekend.
