Manchester, NH – A dense patch of early morning fog could complicate the Friday morning drive across southern New Hampshire, especially for commuters along I-93 and Route 3. Drivers in Manchester should slow down and allow extra time, as reduced visibility may linger before skies turn mostly sunny and temperatures reach a summer high of 84°F by afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service in Gray/Portland, ME, fog is expected to clear by 9 a.m. Friday, with calm winds and abundant sunshine moving in through the afternoon. The warm stretch will continue through the weekend, making it ideal for outdoor activities but raising the risk of heat stress for anyone without shade or hydration. Residents are urged to keep water on hand and check on vulnerable neighbors, especially the elderly or those without air conditioning.
Partly cloudy skies will settle in Friday night, with temperatures dropping to the mid-60s. Both Saturday and Sunday will bring continued sunshine and highs in the mid-80s for Manchester and surrounding towns, including Bedford and Hooksett. Expect only light winds—perfect for parks, pools, and backyard events. Utility demand may rise, so consider reducing non-essential power use during the afternoon.
Looking ahead, scattered showers could return Monday after 2 p.m., but most of the five-day stretch will be marked by classic New England summer heat, with a hot, mostly sunny high near 92°F forecast by Wednesday. Stay tuned for additional updates, as any shift could bring pop-up storms or heat advisories.
