New Hampshire – Headlights glow through thick fog and steady rain this morning, as visibility drops to just 3 miles across Manchester and surrounding highways. Wet pavement and pooled water are already slowing traffic along I-293 and the Everett Turnpike, with rain intensifying at times through late morning.
According to the National Weather Service, rain will continue through midday with precipitation chances near 100%, and localized totals approaching a half inch. Areas of fog will linger as moisture stays trapped near the surface, creating reduced visibility and slick travel conditions across Hillsborough County and nearby routes.
Drivers should expect delays through early afternoon, especially on bridges and low-lying roads where water collects fastest. Winds could gust up to 25 mph, adding to the unsettled feel. Plan extra time, keep headlights on, and avoid sudden braking on wet surfaces.
Conditions begin to improve later today as rain tapers off and skies gradually clear. However, a sharper shift follows. Temperatures fall into the low 30s tonight, then drop further Monday night to around 26°F. Any leftover moisture could refreeze, creating patchy ice early Tuesday, particularly on untreated roads and elevated surfaces.
Tuesday brings a calmer stretch with sunshine and highs near 50°F, helping melt any early ice. By Wednesday, clouds return with highs in the low 50s and a chance of light showers, signaling a more typical spring pattern.
