New Hampshire's Shifting Skies: Your Weekend Weather Breakdown

Good evening, New Hampshire! If you’ve been feeling that familiar chill in the air as the day winds down, you're certainly not alone. We've seen a pretty classic late-winter day across the Granite State, haven't we? Just when you think spring might be around the corner, Old Man Winter likes to remind us he's still here.

So, let's talk about tonight. The big story will be those skies clearing out, which, while beautiful for stargazing, also means temperatures are really going to take a tumble. Expect things to get quite crisp, with lows dipping well into the teens for many areas, especially as you head further north. It’s definitely a night to grab that extra blanket and make sure any outdoor pets are snug and warm. You know how it goes in New England!

But don't you worry, because brighter days are indeed on the horizon! Friday looks like a very welcome change from the clouds we've been seeing. We're talking brilliant sunshine making a glorious appearance, finally breaking through and giving us that much-needed dose of vitamin D. While it’ll still be on the cooler side—think low 40s for most of us—that sunshine will make it feel considerably more pleasant than the thermometer might suggest. It’ll be a perfect day to step outside, maybe for a brisk walk or just to enjoy the clear air.

Now, as we cast our gaze towards the weekend, that's where things get a bit more... well, New England. Saturday is shaping up to be quite nice, actually. We're looking at partly cloudy skies, and temperatures might even push into the mid-40s for some spots. All in all, a decent day if you’ve got plans outdoors. But Sunday? That's the day we're really keeping an eye on a system that's expected to move in. Right now, it's looking like a bit of a mixed bag, which is typical for this time of year. We could see some rain, and yes, there’s even a chance of a touch of wet snow, particularly in higher elevations or if those temperatures dip just right. Expect those mercury readings to hover in the low 40s. It could make for some soggy travel, so definitely keep an eye on the updated forecast as we get closer!

And what about beyond the weekend? Early next week suggests we're likely heading back into a colder stretch, perhaps with a lingering chance of some light snow showers. Classic New Hampshire, truly! So, my friends, layers are still going to be your best companion for a while longer. Stay safe, stay warm, and we'll keep you updated right here with all the latest weather information.
