Rain Coming to NH this Weekend

If you’re making plans for the weekend, Saturday appears to be your best weather day, according to meteorologists.

First though, the brushfire danger, while diminished, could still be a problem. At around 3:30 a.m. on April 28, 2016, the National Weather Service issued a hazardous weather outlook for the entire state of New Hampshire warning of possible fire dangers through Saturday.

“Very dry air is expected again today and relatively humidity will drop to 20 to 30 percent this afternoon,” according to the alert. “Fortunately, winds are expected to be light.”

The fire warning is not at the level as before but it is a danger so limit burning at this time.

Light showers, according to AccuWeather.com, are expected to sweep through the region on Saturday night or Sunday morning, which will bring some relief … until it warms up again next week. That means your best day to enjoy the weekend appears to be Saturday, which will feature temperatures in the 60s.
