Will the Rain Be Kept at Bay this Weekend?

The nice fall weather is expected to continue into the weekend despite a major storm off the Atlantic, according to weather forecasters.

AccuWeather.com said that the average temperatures are slightly higher than normal and are expected to be that way into next week. Do expect, however, foggy, frosty mornings.

The harvest moon

For the first time in nearly three decades, a lunar eclipse will coincide with a supermoon, beginning around 9 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 27. The moon is expected to appear about 14 percent larger than normal, according to AccuWeather.com. The eclipse will last a little more than 70 minutes.

Hopefully, the scattered clouds that are expected to head into the region will not muck up the viewing opportunity. Visibility is expected to be fair for most of New Hampshire with “good” visibility in the northern part of the Granite State.

The forecast

Tonight, areas of fog after 10 p.m. but otherwise clear and cool, with lows in the mid-40s.

On Thursday, after morning fog, expect sunny skies and highs in the 70s. Temps will drop back down to the mid-40s during the evening.

Forecasters are calling for mostly sunny skies on Friday with highs in the upper 60s. Lows drop down to the low 40s during the evening.

For the weekend, sun and highs near the upper 60s for Saturday and a clear, cool evening. On Sunday, highs again near 70 but partly cloudy skies during the evening with lows in the upper 40s.

Monday is expected to be sunny, too.
