3 To 5 Inches Of Snow, Freezing Rain Coming To New Hampshire

CONCORD, NH — Somewhere between 3 to 5 inches of snow, freezing rain, and ice, are coming to the Granite State Thursday in what forecasters are calling a “pretty poorly timed” storm.

The National Weather Service issued an updated “hazardous weather outlook” on Wednesday morning, bumping their earlier forecasted snow accumulation amounts up slightly from earlier in the week.

“Accumulating snowfall and a wintry mix are likely Thursday into Thursday night,” the alert stated. “Generally, 3-5 inches of snow are expected, with a glaze of ice possible on top of the snowfall.”

Forecasters at the NWS also warned drivers to plan ahead and take it slow on Thursday.

“Another storm is likely to bring snow and ice Saturday night and Sunday,” the NWS said, but accumulation amounts were unavailable at post time.

The snow should start before 3 p.m. on Thursday and then mix with freezing rain. Temperatures will be in the upper 20s. Patchy snow and freezing rain will continue into the evening, with temperatures dropping to mid-20s.

On Friday, expect mostly sunny skies with highs in the mid-30s, but a lot of wind is expected, with gusts of up to 30 mph. Overnight lows will be in the teens.

Forecasters are calling for sun on Saturday, with highs in the upper 20s and lows in the teens. Sometime during the evening or early morning hours of Sunday, snow will return and continue until the afternoon.

Monday and Tuesday are expected to be sunny to partly sunny with temps in the upper. 20s.
