Wind Gust Alert for NH, Summer Temps on the Horizon

The National Weather Service issued a hazardous weather outlook for excessive wind gusts tonight and through Monday afternoon. The alert was issued for all of New Hampshire at around 2:19 p.m. on June 12, 2016.

“Northwest wind gusts in excess of 40 mph will be possible through early evening,” according to the alert.

Gusts are expected to reach 35 mph through Monday morning and afternoon, too, according to the NWS.

For the rest of the week, a high pressure system is expected to shift toward the east and bring with it, slightly warmer temperatures then the region has seen recently, according to AccuWeather.com.

There’s a slight chance of showers toward the latter part of the week but AccuWeather.com is suggesting that much of New England will be dry, due to the storm missing the region.
