Spring Snowstorm Coming To New Hampshire Monday

GRAY, ME — The state of New Hampshire is under a "winter storm watch" with snow coming to the region Monday. Forecasters expect a low-pressure system that is south of Cape Cod will move northeast in the early afternoon. It will start as rain and then change to snow and rapidly accumulate, according to the National Weather Service.

"This will be a heavy and wet snow, which could cause downed branches and power lines," the alert, which was issued at 3:15 p.m. Sunday, stated.

The alert covers Merrimack, Hillsborough, and Rockingham counties. Weather service forecasters are calling for between 3 and 6 with the Seacoast receiving less snow — around 2 inches.

"Plan on slippery road conditions," the alert stated. "The hazardous conditions could impact the morning or evening commute."

AccuWeather.com is predicting the storm will start sometime after noon. Forecasters there are predicting 6 to 10 inches of snow in most of the state with 3 to 6 inches on the Seacoast.
