New Hampshire – Fog drifts across Manchester streets and damp air clings to early travelers, with visibility dropping near 1 mile and roads turning slick in spots. Temperatures are slowly climbing, but the real story is the rapid shift toward steady rain by late weekend.
According to the National Weather Service, patchy fog and scattered showers linger into the morning, with a 30% chance of light rain and highs reaching near 63°F. Winds stay light, but increasing moisture signals a more active pattern building into the region.
Across Manchester and surrounding towns, including Nashua and Concord, conditions improve briefly into Saturday with highs near 60°F and increasing clouds. Roads like I-93, I-293, and the Everett Turnpike remain manageable, but drivers should stay alert for lingering damp spots and reduced visibility early.
Rain chances ramp up quickly Saturday night, reaching 70% as showers develop after sunset. By Sunday, a widespread soaking rain takes over with a 90% chance of precipitation and highs near 60°F. Expect steady rainfall to reduce visibility and create ponding on roadways, especially along I-93 during the afternoon and evening travel window. Plan extra time and avoid sudden braking on wet pavement.
Showers taper Sunday night, but cooler air settles in fast. Monday brings mostly sunny skies with highs near 49°F, followed by colder nights dipping near freezing. That raises concern for patchy slick spots early next week if moisture lingers .
