New Hampshire's Afternoon Outlook: Chilly Breeze and a Glimpse of Winter's Embrace

Well, folks, it’s certainly feeling a lot like early December out there across New Hampshire this afternoon, isn't it? That crisp, almost biting air has truly settled in, reminding us that winter isn't just around the corner – it's practically knocking on the door. If you've been outside, you've definitely felt that noticeable chill, perhaps even a whisper of wind making its presence known.

As we move deeper into the afternoon, expect those temperatures to hover generally in the mid-30s to lower 40s for most areas. Now, don't be surprised if the wind makes it feel a touch colder than the thermometer actually reads – that's just the nature of things sometimes, especially with a west-northwest breeze. We’re mostly looking at partly cloudy skies, maybe a few breaks of sunshine trying to peek through, but nothing overly dramatic, you know?

Looking ahead to tonight, the story really revolves around those dropping temperatures. Once the sun dips below the horizon, we’ll see a pretty quick descent into the 20s for many spots, and even dipping into the teens in some of our more northern and sheltered valleys. So, if you're planning any evening errands or a quiet night out, definitely layer up. Frost will be widespread, of course, and those roadways might get a bit slick in spots where any residual moisture could freeze.

Now, as for precipitation? Good news there – it looks like we're staying dry for the most part today and into tonight. No major snowfalls or ice events on the immediate horizon, which, let's be honest, is a bit of a relief for a Monday, right? Just a calm, albeit chilly, end to the day.

As we glance towards tomorrow, Tuesday appears to follow a similar pattern: cool, relatively calm, and mostly dry, keeping with this early winter theme. It's a gentle reminder to adjust our routines, maybe grab that extra blanket, and perhaps even start thinking about those festive lights. Embrace the chill, New Hampshire, because it's officially here to stay for a while.
