The Sun Is (Finally) Here For A Couple Of Days, So Enjoy It This Week, Granite Staters

CONCORD, NH — Rain, rain, go away …

Well, it will, at least for a few days.

After a pretty wet April, where anywhere from 2 to 5 inches of rain fell in most Patch and surrounding communities, during the first 10 days of May, nearly 6 inches of rain fell in Concord alone, according to forecasters. In the 24 hours between Friday night and Saturday night, Temple saw more than 3 inches of rain while Dunbarton and Londonderry had 2.5 inches, the hydrologic data by the National Weather Service stated.

Forecasters have been tracking river increases in the Contoocook, Merrimack, Piscataquog, Suncook, and Warner rivers, and are seeing some high levels based on the first part of this month.

So it is nice to see a bit of sun, even if it was so chilly Monday morning.

Expect sunny skies on Tuesday with highs near 70 and a 5 to 10 mph wind out of the southeast. Overnight lows will drop to the mid-40s.

On Wednesday, it will be slightly warmer, in the mid-70s, with a calm wind. There is a chance of showers during overnight hours, with temperatures in the mid-50s.

There is a chance of showers on Thursday with highs in the upper 60s and lows in the upper 50s.

There is a chance of rain on Friday with temperatures in the upper 70s and lows in the upper 50s.

There is a 50-50 chance the weekend will also be rainy with temps in the upper 70s.
