A Winter Storm Warning has been issued for most of Southern Maine that will be in effect until 10 PM tonight due to heavy snow and strong wind gusts.  A slight shift south in the storm track will result in less snow in the mountains and more snow (and less rain) near the coast. Totals will reach 10+ inches in many parts of the state.  (WMTW)
