New Hampshire – Wet pavement and patchy fog greet drivers this morning, but a sharper shift is already taking shape as a messy spring system targets Manchester by late Sunday morning.
According to the National Weather Service, light snow develops before mid-morning Sunday, then quickly mixes with rain between 10 and 11 a.m. Temperatures climb to near 47°F, limiting accumulation to under a half inch, but roads may turn briefly slushy—especially on bridges along I-93 and the Everett Turnpike.
Manchester and nearby towns like Hooksett and Bedford could see reduced visibility during the late morning transition. Plan extra travel time Sunday. Snow may fall just long enough to coat untreated surfaces before rain washes it away. By evening, steady rain lingers with temperatures dropping toward the upper 20s overnight.
That’s where conditions turn tricky again. As colder air settles in by early Monday, leftover moisture may refreeze. Watch for black ice on secondary roads and shaded areas into the early commute Monday and again Tuesday morning. Keep a winter jacket handy despite the calendar saying spring.
Monday stays mostly cloudy with a chance of light snow showers and highs near 39°F. Skies clear Tuesday with sunshine, but temperatures remain cool near 43°F. A gradual warm-up follows midweek, pushing highs closer to the upper 40s by Wednesday.
Meteorologists note this pattern reflects a broader clash between lingering cold in New England and early spring warmth building west. Expect more swings ahead.
Traveling Sunday or early next week? Watch for quick changes and let us know what you’re seeing on the roads.
