Messy Weather this Week as Nor'easter Hits NH

Enjoy Monday because by Tuesday, it’s bound to be messy, according to the National Weather Service.

On Monday, expect partly sunny skies with clouds rolling in and highs in the 20s. The wind chill though will make it feel like 0 or less.

Weather forecasters are not quite sure whether or not it will be cold enough by Tuesday for a lot of snow or will, instead, be a mix of rain, due to the warmer temperatures coming off the water. Snow showers are expected in the early morning hours in the central part of the state with freezing rain in the southern and Seacoast areas of New Hampshire.

Temperatures will be in the high 20s to mid-30s in the day – and slightly warmer on the coast – and dropping down into the mid-to-high 20s at night.

The other unknown about the storm is how long it will be sticking around.

Some forecasters are getting the sense that it could be hanging around, swirling over the region, possibly into Friday. The heaviest rain and/or snow will be on Tuesday. If it rains for the rest of the week, any accumulation will dissipate but the driving will be slippery. Expect similar temperatures all week, according to forecasters.
