Manchester, New Hampshire – Summer storms are back on the radar this weekend, with Manchester likely to see downpours and thunder by Saturday afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service, showers are likely after 2 p.m. Saturday with thunderstorms developing after 5 p.m. Cloud cover and a high near 67°F will cap a cooler-than-usual June day. Winds will stay light out of the southeast at around 5 mph, but the real hazard lies in heavy bursts of rain — especially during the evening commute.
Drivers on I-293 and I-93 should use caution late Saturday, as brief urban flooding is possible during heavier thunderstorms. If you’re heading out for errands or events, plan to wrap up before late afternoon to avoid getting caught in a downpour. Saturday night brings a continued 40% chance of rain through 2 a.m.
Sunday clears up nicely, bringing mostly sunny skies and a welcome high near 81°F — ideal for outdoor plans. Monday heats up fast, topping 91°F under full sun, marking one of the hottest days of the season so far.
