Crisp Air and Shifting Skies: Your New Hampshire Weather Update

You know, there’s just something about late November in New Hampshire, isn't there? That crispness in the air, the way the bare trees stand silhouetted against a brilliant sky – it really signals that winter, well, it’s certainly knocking on our door. We've been watching the forecast closely here at WMUR, and we’ve got a fresh update on what you can expect across the Granite State as we head further into this beautiful, albeit chilly, season.

So, what's happening right now? Generally speaking, we're looking at conditions that are pretty typical for this time of year. Many of us woke up to that familiar nip in the air this morning, with temperatures hovering in the low 30s for a good portion of the state, maybe even dipping into the high 20s up north. But thankfully, alongside that chill, we've also been treated to some lovely stretches of sunshine, particularly away from the immediate coast, making those daytime highs feel a touch more tolerable, probably reaching into the low to mid-40s for most areas.

Now, when it comes to precipitation, it seems we're going to catch a bit of a break for the next day or so. Most of us can expect to stay dry, which is always nice, especially if you've got outdoor plans or perhaps some holiday decorating on your mind. However, just a little heads-up for those higher elevations, particularly in the White Mountains: there's always that slight chance of a rogue snow flurry or two, nothing significant, mind you, but enough to dust the peaks and remind us what’s coming. Wind will be a factor, of course, generally breezy, making those already cool temperatures feel even colder, so definitely layer up!

Looking ahead into the weekend, we don’t anticipate any drastic shifts, but a gradual warming trend might just sneak in. Daytime temperatures could nudge closer to the mid-40s, maybe even touching 50 in some southern spots, which, you know, would feel quite pleasant. Overnight lows will still be pretty chilly, mind you, dropping into the 30s, so don't put away that heavy blanket just yet. The skies should remain a mix of sun and clouds, offering plenty of opportunity to get out and enjoy our beautiful state before the deeper winter chill truly sets in.

So, in a nutshell, New Hampshire is settling comfortably into its late autumn rhythm, with chilly starts, pleasant if cool afternoons, and the occasional hint of winter in the air. It’s a perfect time to really appreciate the quiet beauty of the season. As always, we’ll keep a very close eye on things here at WMUR, and we encourage you to check back frequently for the very latest updates, especially as those winter storms inevitably begin to brew.
