Thanksgiving Day NH Forecast: Expect a Light Wintry Mix

Forecasters are warning Thanksgiving Day holiday travelers to prepare for a “light wintry mix” of road conditions in the Northeast, including parts of New Hampshire and most of New England. Sporadic areas of light rain and drizzle are expected across the region.

“While precipitation will be light in most areas, even a small amount of snow and ice can cause slick roads, sidewalks and driveways,” according to Renee Duff of AccuWeather.com. “The greatest threat for icy spots on Thanksgiving will be from northern Pennsylvania to western and central New England.”

New Hampshire State Police issued a travel advisory yesterday warning holiday travelers to stay safe when driving, including limiting distractions and planning ahead, as well as other tips.

In the Concord and Hillsborough County areas, including Amherst, Bedford, Merrimack, and Milford, according to the National Weather Service, a slight chance of snow is expected after 9 a.m. with a mix of rain and snow after 1 p.m.

In the non-coastal Rockingham County areas – including Londonderry, Salem, Windham, and Exeter – snow is expected sometime before noon but then mixing between noon and 4 p.m.

Along the Seacoast – Hampton, North Hampton, and Portsmouth – snow is expected before 10 a.m. and then mixing with rain around 11 a.m.

Rain and snow is expected across the state during the evening on Thursday and into Friday.
