Manchester, N.H. – Umbrellas and caution will be must-haves for Manchester residents Thursday as scattered showers and afternoon thunderstorms roll in, threatening slippery commutes and summer routines. Roadways like I-293 could become slick after 2 p.m., and drivers should plan for extra travel time and possible delays.
According to the National Weather Service, showers are likely Thursday, July 10, especially between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m., followed by a renewed chance of thunderstorms after 4 p.m. The day will remain cloudy with a high near 74°F and calm winds turning east around 5 mph by afternoon. The chance of precipitation sits at 60%, making outdoor activities and evening plans risky. Residents are encouraged to monitor local alerts, avoid unnecessary travel during downpours, and check their vehicles’ wipers and tires ahead of time.
Neighborhoods across Manchester, including routes near Elm Street and the Everett Turnpike, could see localized ponding and reduced visibility. Thursday’s unsettled weather is part of a broader summer pattern bringing waves of rain to southern New Hampshire. Showers may taper after dark, but clouds linger, and the threat of isolated storms remains until around 2 a.m. Friday.
The summer weather turns more inviting as the weekend approaches. Friday will bring partly sunny skies and highs near 81°F. By Saturday, Manchester heats up under mostly sunny skies, with temperatures soaring to 85°F. The trend continues into Sunday and Monday, with highs climbing into the upper 80s and a return to partly sunny weather. A few scattered showers may return Sunday night and Monday, but the overall outlook promises a warm and active July stretch.
Warnings and updates will remain in effect through Thursday evening. Residents should keep an eye on alerts, especially for Friday’s commute and outdoor events this weekend.
