Manchester, N.H. – Drivers across southern New Hampshire should prepare for patchy fog and chilly overnight lows as the weekend approaches. Commuters along I-293 and Route 3 may see reduced visibility late Saturday night into early Sunday, raising safety concerns.
According to the National Weather Service in Gray, Maine, Manchester will enjoy sunny skies Friday with highs near 76, but temperatures will fall sharply at night. By Saturday, daytime highs only reach around 70, with nighttime lows dipping into the upper 30s. Calm winds mean fog will likely form after midnight, particularly in low-lying areas and valleys.
