New Hampshire – A calm, chilly start settles over Manchester now, but changing skies and incoming showers could quickly shift road conditions by late evening.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures rise to around 66°F under sunny skies before clouds increase later today. Winds remain light early, then pick up slightly, with rain chances building late tonight as a system approaches southern New Hampshire.
Across Manchester, Bedford, and along I-93, travel remains smooth through the afternoon. Dry pavement and clear visibility dominate for now. Conditions begin to change after sunset as showers develop, especially toward midnight. Roads may turn slick, and brief visibility drops are possible during passing rain.
Saturday turns cooler, with highs near 54°F and northwest wind gusts reaching 25 mph. Skies clear at times, but the breeze adds a sharp chill. By late Saturday night, temperatures dip near 32°F. Any leftover moisture could refreeze on untreated roads and bridges, creating isolated slick spots early Sunday. Use caution if heading out early.
Sunday brings a milder feel, with highs near 57°F and more clouds returning. Another round of showers becomes likely by late evening, increasing the risk for wet travel into early Monday.
By Monday, temperatures rebound to around 68°F with lingering clouds and a few showers early. A stronger warming trend builds into next week, with highs pushing into the 70s.
