Special Weather Statement issued May 23 at 2:28AM EDT by NWS Gray ME

2:28 AM — 12:00 PM

* Air temperatures in the lower 60s to lower 70s this weekend (50s on Sunday) may cause people to underestimate the dangers of the cold water temperatures which are currently only in the mid 50s across Sebago Lake and Lake Winnipesaukee, and in the mid 50s in the regions smaller lakes and rivers. * The cold water temperatures can quickly cause hypothermia to anyone immersed in the water. When the water temperature is below 60 degrees, the average submerged person could loose dexterity within minutes and be unable to accomplish simple tasks. Anyone on small boats, canoes, or kayaks should plan accordingly if recreating this weekend and use extreme caution to avoid this threat. Paddle smart from the start and always wear your life jacket! * Generally light and variable winds shift to southerly today. Winds will be breezy this afternoon with some gusts up to 25 mph. If boating on large bodies of water, these strong winds can increase the likelihood of overturning your boat, canoe, or kayak due to increased wave heights.

About

White Lake State Park sits on the shores of a pristine 123-acre glacial kettle lake in Tamworth, surrounded by a 72-acre stand of pitch pine designated as a National Natural Landmark. The campground offers approximately 200 wooded sites with trees providing privacy between neighbors. Sites include fire rings and picnic tables, and the campground has two bathroom buildings per area, a camp store selling supplies and firewood, coin-operated showers, and a dump station for registered campers. The clear waters of White Lake are ideal for swimming at the sandy beach, and boat rentals are available during Memorial Day weekend and July through August. Loons nest on the lake and can be observed from shore. The park is located in the White Mountain region, providing access to hiking and scenic drives throughout the area. Note that pets are not permitted anywhere in the park, and the campground does not have electric, water, or sewer hookups at individual sites. Reservations are recommended, especially for summer weekends and holidays, as the beach may reach capacity during nice weather.
