New Hampshire’s Weather Forecast for the Week
As New Hampshire heads into a milder start to the week following a cool and windy weekend, residents are bracing themselves for showers and gusty winds. The weather conditions have shifted significantly from the previous days, with temperatures dropping back into the 20s and the sun setting earlier than usual.
The forecast indicates that Monday will begin with some frosty and chilly conditions, especially in northern parts of the state such as Concord and Laconia, where the temperature has already dropped to a frigid 23 degrees. By Tuesday morning, however, the mercury is expected to rise into the mid-50s across most areas, though this will be offset by increasing cloud cover throughout the day.
According to Storm Watch 9, showery weather is predicted for late Monday afternoon and evening as a cold front moves through.
While these showers are likely isolated at first, they could develop into more widespread rain and even downpours later in the night. Meteorologists predict that by Tuesday morning, areas south of the mountains will see some clearing skies, allowing for sunshine to return.
Wind Conditions
The gusty winds that dominated the beginning of the weekend are expected to continue through much of the week, with forecasts predicting wind speeds could peak at 30-40 mph in certain regions. These strong winds will make for a brisk day for voters on Election Day and may cause some disruption, particularly if they lead to power outages.
Additional Weather Updates
In the coming days, an active weather pattern is expected to persist, with another round of showers arriving Wednesday night through Thursday. High temperatures are anticipated to dip into the 40s and low 50s by Thursday, while Friday appears to be a relatively dry day despite some potential for showers over the weekend.
Residents are encouraged to stay informed about weather conditions using various tools such as the WMUR app or Very Local app on smart TVs. The Storm Watch 9 team will continue to provide updates and alerts through social media platforms, including Facebook and X (formerly Twitter).
The ongoing drought in New Hampshire means that any rainfall is welcome, making the showers a critical factor for water conservation efforts. Weather enthusiasts are advised to download the necessary apps and follow weather reports closely to stay prepared for changing conditions.
