Manchester, NH – Rain and wind are set to return to New Hampshire by early Thursday, posing a slick commute for drivers along I-93 and I-293. Thursday’s system brings steady rain, gusty winds, and potential for reduced visibility, just as the Granite State looks ahead to improving weather into Memorial Day.
According to the National Weather Service in Gray/Portland, scattered showers are expected late Wednesday with steadier rain moving in by sunrise Thursday. Winds may gust up to 25 mph during the day, and a 100% chance of rain will keep roads wet and potentially hazardous into the evening.
Manchester, Concord, and Nashua are all in line for measurable rainfall, with minor ponding possible during heavier bursts. While Thursday will be damp with a high near 50°F, conditions begin to improve by Friday. A 50% chance of rain lingers early Friday, tapering off by nightfall.
Saturday offers a break with highs in the upper 50s and partial clearing. By Sunday, temperatures rise into the mid-60s with sunshine, setting the stage for a pleasant Memorial Day, which is expected to reach 71°F with only a slight chance of showers.
Residents should charge devices, drive cautiously during peak rain Thursday, and monitor updates from NHDOT regarding road conditions.
Rain clears out by the weekend, and summer-like temps roll in by Monday. More updates will follow if additional advisories are issued.
