Manchester, New Hampshire – New Hampshire is expected to see a fairly typical mid-January weather pattern next week, with periodic chances for snow and rain but no strong signal for prolonged or high-impact winter storms from Sunday through Thursday.
According to the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center, New Hampshire is positioned in a near-normal precipitation zone for the January 12–16 timeframe. Temperatures are projected to trend above seasonal averages, increasing the likelihood of mixed precipitation, especially in southern and coastal-adjacent areas.
Southern New Hampshire communities such as Manchester, Nashua, and Concord may see light snow events that transition to rain during milder periods, while higher terrain and northern locations, including the White Mountains and areas near Littleton, are more likely to stay predominantly snow. Brief bursts of snow could still affect travel during overnight or early morning hours.
The New Hampshire Department of Transportation typically cautions drivers that even modest snowfall can lead to slick conditions on I-93, Route 101, and mountain passes, particularly when temperatures hover near freezing. Residents are encouraged to remain prepared for changing road conditions and slower commutes.
The overall pattern appears steady through the workweek, though short-lived advisories could be issued with passing systems. Travelers should monitor updates as conditions evolve later next week.
