New Hampshire's November chill is tightening its grip on Manchester, with freezing temperatures approaching before a dramatic midweek warmup. Temperatures could plunge to 25 degrees Monday night, then climb toward 61 degrees Wednesday afternoon.
That 36 degree temperature difference highlights a significant shift across southern New Hampshire.

Sunshine should push temperatures toward 56 degrees, with lighter winds making conditions more comfortable.

November is a season when melting snow or standing water can refreeze, creating dangerous patches of ice.
However, Manchester's supplied forecast contains no precipitation through Thursday.
No accumulating snow, flash freezing event or widespread icy road threat is currently indicated.
The broader Northeast may experience lake effect precipitation near the Great Lakes, but that activity is not expected to reach Manchester.
