Manchester, NH – Outdoor events in New Hampshire could face weather disruptions starting late Friday, as a rain system pushes into Manchester and surrounding areas, following a sunny and breezy Thursday.
According to the National Weather Service in Gray/Portland, skies will remain clear Thursday, June 12, with highs near 83°F and west winds gusting up to 25 mph. By Friday night, however, confidence increases in a soaking rain event, with a 70% chance of rain beginning after 2 a.m. Saturday.
