Manchester, New Hampshire – Commuters and weekend planners in New Hampshire should brace for wet roads and changing skies as scattered showers move through Manchester on Friday, August 1st. Showers are likely to bring brief delays, particularly along major routes like I-93, where wet pavement can quickly reduce visibility and traction.

While rain totals are expected to be light—less than a tenth of an inch—drivers should slow down and leave extra distance between vehicles, especially during the morning hours.
If you’re heading out early, bring an umbrella and check your route for possible slick spots. North winds will remain around 5 mph, helping to dry roads by midday as the sun returns. The clear, calm weather Friday night sets up a beautiful weekend ahead.
Looking ahead, Saturday and Sunday will feature plenty of sunshine and pleasant summer temperatures, with highs around 80–86°F and cool, comfortable nights. Utility crews and city officials remind residents to check weather alerts before outdoor events and to stay hydrated as temperatures climb into the upper 80s by Monday.
