First Snow Of The Season For Some Parts Of New Hampshire Expected: Alert

GRAY, ME — While some parts of the North Country and the White Mountains have seen some of the white stuff this season, most of the rest of the state has not ... until tonight.

Forecasters at the National Weather Service issued a hazardous weather outlook on Tuesday morning, warning of a few inches of snow in the evening and morning, as well as a slippery commute.

“Snow will overspread the area late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning,” the alert stated. “Snow may accumulate a few inches and then mixes with sleet and freezing rain before possibly changing to all rain at low elevations late Wednesday morning into the afternoon.”

Accumulations will reach around 2 inches with ice of up to a tenth of an inch.

“Plan on slippery road conditions due to snow-covered roads,” the alert stated. “The hazardous conditions could impact the Wednesday morning commute … slow down and use caution while traveling.”

The storm should be over by 10 a.m. on Wednesday in most of the southern and central parts of New Hampshire.

For Concord and the capital region, snow will start around 10 p.m. Tuesday and turn to freezing rain and sleet sometime before 8 a.m. Wednesday. In Nashua, eastern Hillsborough County, and western Rockingham County, expect drizzling and snow before 3 a.m. and then a rain and snow mix. It will turn to rain by morning. On the Seacoast, freezing rain is expected during the evening, and then rain on Wednesday.
