New Hampshire – Frost clings to windshields and the air bites at 23 degrees across Manchester this morning. Side streets remain dry for now, but shaded patches along I-93 and Route 101 can stay slick where meltwater refroze before sunrise. It only takes a thin glaze to cause a spinout. Slow down through bridges and overpasses.
According to the National Weather Service in Gray, skies turn mostly sunny today with highs near 38 degrees. Light west winds around 5 mph develop this afternoon. The late-morning sun will soften snowbanks and create a brief thaw. However, temperatures fall back toward 15 degrees tonight under partly cloudy skies. That sharp drop raises flash freeze concerns after dark. Any damp pavement could harden into black ice quickly.
Sunday stays bright but cooler, with highs near 34 degrees and light northwest winds. Sunday night turns mostly cloudy with lows around 19. President’s Day brings mostly cloudy skies and highs near 38. Roads should remain mainly dry, but early morning refreezing remains possible in colder valleys.
Tuesday marks a noticeable shift. Partly sunny skies push highs to 46 degrees, the mildest reading of the week. Midweek brings a 50 percent chance of rain by Wednesday afternoon, mixing with snow after 5 p.m. as highs hover near 41. That rain-to-snow transition bears watching for slick travel.
Longer-range outlooks signal a warming trend late next week, with temperatures trending above normal and hints of early spring vibes.
