NWS Issues NH Hazardous Weather Outlook

GREY, ME — After more than a foot of snow hit some places in New Hampshire during the last day of March/April Fool’s Day 2017 storm, we’re all kinda hoping that weather forecasters are getting this latest weather alert wrong. At 3 a.m. on April 3, 2017, the National Weather Service issued a “hazardous weather outlook” for the entire state of New Hampshire warning of another storm system moving into the area that could be a mix of precipitation and difficult driving conditions.

“Another storm system will impact the region Tuesday and Tuesday night,” the alert noted. “Some accumulating snow and perhaps some freezing rain is possible away from the coast.”

Forecasters are calling for between 1 and 3 inches of snow in Concord, northwestern Hillsborough County, and parts north. Some sections could received 6 inches of snow. The southern part of the state, according to the latest predictions, will have mostly rain, freezing rain, and sleet, with limited accumulations.

Timeline

The rain is expected to start on Tuesday afternoon and then mix with sleet and snow into the evening and early morning hours on Wednesday.

Forecasters are also warning of another storm on Thursday night but suggest that this will more than likely produce rain. Combined with the current snow on the ground though, minor flooding is expected in parts of the state.
