BERLIN — Last week’s storm, which left 20 inches of wet, heavy snow in Gorham and 15 inches in Berlin was followed by relatively stable weather this week. But the upcoming weekend may prove to be challenging as a new storm system moves into the region.

The National Weather Service forecast for southern Coos County (including the Berlin-Gorham area), calls for snow overnight followed by snow and rain Friday morning. Lows overnight are expected to be in the 20s but afternoon highs Friday are forecasted to be around 50 degrees with a chance of precipitation near 100 percent.
