New Hampshire was hit by a winter storm over the weekend, bringing significant snowfall and challenging conditions for residents. According to meteorologist Jacqueline Thomas, some areas were hit hard with impressive snowfall totals.
Atkinson reported 11 inches of snowfall, while MEREDITH Sutton saw 10.5 inches. Newport received 10 inches of snow, and South Pokes it recorded 6.5 inches. The storm, visible on satellite and radar, is now tapering off, and breaks in the snow are expected for the remainder of the evening.
As the night progresses, the snowfall will wind down and move out of the region, giving way to drier conditions and clearing skies overnight. By Monday morning, New Hampshire can expect to see the sun shining, providing some relief for the early morning commute. However, caution is still advised as some slick spots may persist.
Temperature-wise, the overnight period will be chilly, with lows falling back into the teens for many areas. Despite the cold, tomorrow will bring brighter skies and a rise in temperatures, reaching the thirties for most parts of the state.
While New Hampshire prepares for a break in the weather, attention is already shifting to the next system on the horizon. Predicted to arrive on Tuesday evening or Tuesday night, this upcoming storm may bring a changeover to rain. This weather event could potentially lead to heavy rainfall and subsequent flooding concerns. The system is also expected to bring stronger gusts of wind.
The future cast indicates that Tuesday will stay dry during the daylight hours, with plenty of clouds. However, as precipitation moves in during the evening, a mixture of snow and rain may occur in southern parts of the state, ultimately transitioning to rain as temperatures rise on Wednesday.
Heading into the rest of the week, New Hampshire can anticipate milder temperatures, with highs reaching the forties. It is advisable to stay updated on the progress of the upcoming storm and its potential impacts as the week progresses.
Overall, New Hampshire residents experienced significant snowfall during this weekend's winter storm, but they can look forward to clearer skies and slightly warmer temperatures in the days ahead.
