New Hampshire residents are preparing for a significant snowfall expected to hit the state during the second half of the weekend. According to the latest weather reports, a storm will move into the region late Saturday night and continue into Sunday, bringing the potential for heavy snow accumulations.

Although the exact amount of snowfall is still uncertain, computer models suggest that snow is likely to fall across the entire state. The intensity and duration of the snowfall, however, will be determined by the storm's track.

If the storm follows a more northern track, there will be plenty of cold air in place, creating ideal conditions for plowable snow. In this scenario, the Lakes Region down through southern New Hampshire is expected to receive several inches of snow. On the other hand, if the storm tracks more towards the south, the snowfall will be weaker, with the heaviest accumulations staying to the south of New Hampshire.

Current trends indicate a leaning towards the northern solution, raising the chances of significant snowfall in the state. Minor accumulations are also expected farther north. It is important for residents to stay informed and monitor the storm's progress.

Regardless of the storm's track, mixed precipitation or rain is not expected, as temperatures will remain cold enough for snow. However, travel conditions on Sunday are likely to be slow and potentially slick. The magnitude of the impact on the roads will be influenced by the storm's track.

The New Hampshire Department of Transportation and other related agencies are urging residents to stay weather aware and informed about the changing conditions. To receive updates on the go, residents can download the free WMUR app for Apple or Android devices and enable push notifications. The app also allows users to receive weather alerts for their geolocation and up to three ZIP codes, as well as notifications when precipitation is approaching their area.
