Manchester, NH – A pleasant start to the workweek will quickly give way to building heat and a significant chance for thunderstorms later in the week.

Drivers should prepare for changing road conditions by mid-week.
According to the National Weather Service, Monday is expected to be partly sunny with a comfortable high near 75 degrees.

Temperatures will climb through the week, reaching a high near 79 degrees on Tuesday under partly sunny skies. The first chance for wet weather arrives Wednesday, with a 30% chance of showers developing between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m., which could create slick spots for midday commuters on the Everett Turnpike and local roads.
The most impactful weather arrives on Thursday, Juneteenth. Showers and possibly a thunderstorm are likely after 2 p.m., with a 60% chance of precipitation. With a high near 88 degrees, any storms could bring heavy downpours and lightning.
