It may be hard to believe on a sun-filled afternoon when temps reach near 60 and birds chirp away like spring is at hand that another destructive bomb cyclone packing rain, ice and snow and winds up to 50 mph awaits tomorrow, but it does.

Forecasters are predicting a violent storm along a thin swath of coastal New England that could ensnare the Northern Seacoast with ice, snow and winds of 31 mph and gusts up to 50 mph by noon on Friday that could down trees and branches and cause widespread power outages.

The winds will begin to ramp up slowly tonight to around 20 mph or so by early morning.

A mix of rain and snow will begin early Friday around 4 a.m. with temperatures in the mid-30s and rising slowly throughout the day to a high of 37 but with snow precip still possible due to temperatures in the upper atmosphere.

Winds are expected to subside a bit through Friday afternoon and then ramp back to around 20 mph out of the north Friday night.

Saturday will be mostly cloudy with highs in the low 40s with a brisk breeze lingering throughout the day.

The storm will wreak its greatest havoc on the coast, with the highest winds and coastal flooding.

According to Accuweather, this storm may be second only in intensity to a similar bomb cyclone in early January.

The strongest winds are likely to be along the coast of eastern Massachusetts.

Extensive power outages are likely spanning Friday to Saturday.

Winds as strong as predicted can knock down trees, cause damage to property and make loose objects into projectiles. Walking, standing or driving through areas where there is a canopy of trees may be very dangerous during the storm.

Central Maine Power sent out a press release today saying they were preparing for a major storm and would be bringing in extra contract workers from Maine and Canada to help with power restoration efforts if needed.
