As a warm front lifts across the region on Saturday, snow will change over to rain with a period of an icy mix in the mountains before changing to all rain. The rain will continue for most of the day before getting a break in the action as a dry slot moves in by the afternoon. Watching for how much clearing occurs in the dry slot, as more sunshine will boost temperatures and will increase the instability over parts of western Maine.
