...Potential for Freezing Fog and Freezing Drizzle Friday
Morning...

Patchy freezing fog will likely develop late this evening and
persist to mid-morning Friday. In addition, there is a chance of
freezing drizzle from shortly before sunrise Friday to mid-

drizzle are possible. Travel conditions could vary significantly
spatially depending on where the freezing fog or freezing drizzle
sets up.

Warmer air will be moving in from south to north during the day
Friday, with Downeast and Bangor rising above freezing around
midday Friday, and Northern Maine rising to near or just above
freezing late afternoon and early evening Friday. Friday
