New Hampshire – A crack of thunder and brief downpours are already moving through Manchester, where wet roads and reduced visibility could impact travel within the next few hours.
According to the National Weather Service, showers and thunderstorms will continue through the afternoon with a 60% chance of rain. While rainfall totals stay under a tenth of an inch for most areas, isolated heavier bursts and lightning may briefly disrupt traffic, especially along I-93, Route 101, and local surface streets.
Manchester will see temperatures climb to around 66°F today before conditions begin to settle tonight. Clouds break slightly late, with lows dropping to the mid-40s. By Saturday, skies stay mostly cloudy with a cooler high near 55°F, offering a temporary break from steady rain but keeping that damp feel in the air.
The next round arrives quickly. Showers redevelop early Sunday and become widespread by late morning, with rain chances surging to 90%. Expect a steady, soaking rain that could create slick roadways and slower travel through much of the day. If you’re heading out, plan extra time and keep headlights on.
Drier air returns Monday with sunshine and a high near 47°F, but colder air follows overnight. Temperatures dip to the mid-20s, raising the risk of patchy frost and isolated slick spots early Tuesday.
