New Hampshire — Sharp, biting air grips the Queen City this morning as early sunlight glances off frosted rooftops and car windows. Streets stay dry but crisp, and anyone heading out for early errands or travel feels the November chill immediately.
According to the National Weather Service, Manchester starts the day near the low 20s, with calm winds allowing cold to settle into valleys and shaded spots. Residents traveling today should warm vehicles early, check tire pressure, and plan extra time for the first few miles of the drive. The cold remains stubborn through midmorning before sunshine pushes temperatures toward the mid-40s.
Friday brings another cold start from the upper 20s, though skies stay mostly sunny and winds remain light. To be fair, conditions look favorable for local travel, yard cleanup, and early holiday errands as Thanksgiving week approaches. Still, the chilly pattern signals that the region is firmly in its winter transition, and models now show stronger systems forming to the west.
While no snow is expected in Manchester through Saturday, meteorologists note a growing “Winter Tease” across northern New England next week. Colder air arrives from Canada, and several models hint at snow potential—including the possibility of heavy snow in parts of the Midwest, Appalachians, and interior Northeast between Nov. 25 and Dec. 3. Anyone traveling long distances for Thanksgiving should monitor updated weather guidance, especially if connecting through snowy hubs like Chicago, Detroit, or Minneapolis.
Saturday remains sunny and seasonable, offering one of the better travel windows before conditions become more active next week. Cooler air then returns Sunday night as the pattern shifts again.

Friday: Mostly sunny, highs near 49.
