After Wind, #SnowInApril Expect Cold Temps in NH

As NH Patch warned earlier this week, expect some snow late tonight and early on Monday, which could make the morning commute a bit difficult.

AccuWeather.com reported that the storm would be a fast moving one that will bring some snow, strong winds, and cold temperatures. Originally, it was thought to be in the four-inch range but now, the snow is expected to be between one and three inches from the Lakes Region to the Massachusetts border.

And it’s expected to stay cold for a bit, according to AccuWeather.com. Their forecasters are predicting that waves of cold will come into the region from Canada for the early part of the month, making it abnormally cold for the season, due to the southern shift of the polar vortex.

Temperatures should rise a bit later in the week and New Hampshire could expect some rain, too.

The forecast

Here is the latest forecast from the National Weather Service:

Tonight: Partly cloudy and windy with gusts reaching up to 25 to 35 mph in parts of the state with temperatures in the lower 20s and upper teens.

Monday: Snow expected during the morning and through the afternoon with temps in the upper 20s and lower 30s. Accumulations are down slightly, to up to three inches. Temps drop down into the teens during the evening.

Tuesday: Sunny but cold with temps in the 30s. During the evening, expect it to be in the mid-to-upper teens.

Wednesday: Mostly sunny skies with highs in the 40s. Rain is possible during the evening with temperatures dropping down into the 30s.
