Drivers in the Manchester area should prepare for patchy fog developing early Thursday morning, which could reduce visibility on local roads before 9 a.m. The fog comes ahead of a stretch of intense summer heat that’s set to build through the weekend, pushing temperatures close to 90°F by Saturday.
According to the National Weather Service, fog may form after 2 a.m. Thursday and linger into the morning commute. Skies will turn mostly sunny by late morning, with highs reaching the low 80s Thursday and mid-80s on Friday. The humidity will increase, making outdoor conditions feel warmer, especially in low-lying areas around Manchester, Hooksett, and Bedford.
Thursday morning fog will be the biggest risk, especially for early drivers and school buses. As skies clear, temperatures will steadily climb, peaking with sunny and hot conditions Saturday through Monday. Residents should plan for higher heat, stay hydrated, and limit strenuous activity during the afternoon. Those sensitive to heat or air quality may want to check conditions before heading outdoors.
Warmer weather and mostly clear skies are likely to continue into early next week, with little chance of rain. Stay tuned for any new heat advisories or air quality alerts as temperatures approach the mid-90s by Tuesday.
