New Hampshire – A biting February chill grips Manchester this morning, with breath visible in the crisp air and wind chills near 10 degrees. Thermometers hover around 18 degrees, and any untreated moisture has turned stiff and slick. Drivers on I-93 and Route 101 should watch shaded overpasses where ice can linger.
According to the National Weather Service in Gray, highs reach near 34 degrees today under bright sunshine. Northwest winds stay light near 5 mph, but the cold air mass keeps pavement temperatures low. Melting will be limited, and temperatures fall quickly after sunset, dropping to around 12 degrees tonight. That sharp freeze raises the risk of black ice before dawn.
Saturday turns mostly sunny with a high near 37. Roads improve during the afternoon, but another cold night follows with lows near 14 degrees. Sunday stays sunny and seasonably cold, with highs around 36. Clouds increase Sunday night, and lows dip near 16 degrees.
Washington’s Birthday brings a modest rebound. Highs climb to 40 degrees under partly sunny skies. Monday night remains mostly cloudy with lows near 26. By Tuesday, a noticeable thaw arrives with highs pushing 48 degrees and mostly sunny conditions.
Midweek trends milder across New Hampshire. Highs ease into the 40s, and long-range signals point to above-normal temperatures late next week. Early hints of rain and even a rain-snow mix appear by Wednesday night into Thursday, a reminder that February can still shift quickly.
