Hazardous NH Weather Outlook: Icy Roads Monday Night, Tuesday Morning

GRAY, ME — The National Weather Service has issued a “hazardous weather outlook” winter weather advisory for tonight for the entire state of New Hampshire. The outlook alert was issued at 11:15 a.m. on Dec. 31, 2016.

Light snow – of up to 3 inches – is expected in the late afternoon and through this evening which could make travel – on an already complicated evening, New Year’s Eve – a bit slippery, according to the alert.

In other words, take your time tonight … and don’t drink and drive.

However, a more complex weather system is expected on Tuesday, according to the NWS. This new storm will, according to the alert, “provide a chance of mixed precipitation to most of New Hampshire and western Maine.” The freezing rain will likely change to rain during the day on Tuesday, as temps warm up. But inland – including east central New Hampshire – could see mixed precipitation into the afternoon and evening.

AccuWeather.com suggested earlier today that the icy spots will start in New Hampshire on Monday night and continue into the morning on Tuesday, just when everyone will be returning to work after the long holiday weekend.
