The weather service has posted freeze watches for Oxford, Franklin and Somerset counties effective Friday evening into Saturday.
According to the weather service, a cold front traversing the area Friday will bring unseasonably chilly temperatures, with Friday night’s lows expected to be as cold as the high 20’s in some spots.
