Hazardous Weather Outlook Alert Issued for the Granite State

GRAY, ME — The National Weather Service issued a hazardous weather outlook alert for most of the state of New Hampshire including all of coastal Rockingham County. The alert – issued at just before 4 a.m. on Jan. 10, 2017, warns that light precipitation will be spreading into the region today in the form of snow in non-coastal areas – Concord, Bedford, Merrimack, Nashua, Salem, as well as other communities – and a mix of rain and snow in Hampton, North Hampton, Portsmouth, and possibly Exeter.

The wintry mix of precipitation is expected to remain in interior southern sections of the state until late into the evening, according to the alert. While snow accumulations are not expected to be very high, road conditions could be slippery in places.

AccuWeather.com warns that the windy weather could be disruptive depending on how far the warmer temperatures – and with them, showers instead of snow – push north.

A second system – which is expected to hit New Hampshire on Thursday morning – will bring another mix of snow and rain before turning to rain, along with warmer, unseasonably temperatures for this time of the year.

The latest weather conditions can be found on the front page of every Patch.com site in the United States including the 12 New Hampshire Patch news and community websites. Local, four-day weather reports for New Hampshire are posted on Sundays and Thursdays; alerts are posted when needed.
