Maine is facing a weekend of weather that could bring record high winter temperatures followed by an ice storm. WCSH-TV reports the state is likely to see temperatures over 50 degrees on Saturday. But temperatures are expected to plummet on Saturday night, and precipitation and freezing temperatures are likely to follow on Sunday. WCSH-TV reports the storm isn't likely to be as severe as the legendary 1998 ice storm, but power outages and travel problems are possible.
