More Rain, Warm Temperatures, And Rivers Rising In New Hampshire

CONCORD, NH — Mud season is not quite here yet in the Granite State, but rain on Sunday and Monday might hasten its arrival.

There may also be water issues around rivers and flooding.

On Wednesday morning, the National Weather Service issued a “hazardous weather outlook” warning of rising rivers and thinning ice that could cause problems. The rain “combining with snowmelt (could) raise rivers and break up thinning river ice,” forecasters said.

“This will elevate the risk for ice jam flooding going into next week,” the alert stated.

Forecasters are calling for cloudy skies on Thursday with highs in the lower 40s and a light wind. Overnight lows will drop down into the mid-20s.

It will be partly sunny on Friday, with highs in the lower 50s and lows overnight in the mid-30s.

It is also expected to be cloudy on Saturday but warmer, with highs in the upper 50s. As rain moves into the region, lows will be in the upper 40s.

Rain is expected to continue Sunday, with highs in the mid-60s. Showers will continue overnight with temps reaching the lower 50s.

The rain is expected to continue Monday with highs in the upper 50s.

Sunny skies return on Tuesday, forecasters said.
