UPDATE: New Hampshire is bracing for an urgent winter weather system set to deliver 1 to 3 inches of snow tomorrow, December 19, 2023. As travelers prepare for a busy week ahead, conditions are expected to deteriorate during the Tuesday evening commute.
Bright sunshine marked Monday, but brisk winds and frigid temperatures will dominate today. Highs will struggle to reach the 20s, with wind gusts exceeding 20-25 mph, making it feel even colder. Overnight, temperatures are forecast to plunge into the teens, setting the stage for the impending snow.
The National Weather Service confirms that light to moderate snowfall will commence in the late morning, lasting into Tuesday night. Areas close to the Maine border and the North Country may see slightly higher totals, creating potentially slick travel conditions. Authorities urge caution for commuters as roads could become hazardous.
After the snow clears early Wednesday morning, New Hampshire will experience a brief respite with clear skies and chilly temperatures for both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. However, attention turns to post-holiday travel, as another system might bring rain, snow, or a mix on Friday, December 22, 2023.
Residents are encouraged to stay updated on weather alerts and prepare for changing conditions. With the holiday season upon us, ensuring safe travel is paramount. Follow local forecasts for the latest developments.
