New Hampshire's Weather Rollercoaster: From Milder Drizzle to Crisp Autumn Chill

Ever wake up to one of those days where the sky just feels… undecided? That's pretty much been the vibe across New Hampshire this morning, isn't it? We've had a lingering dampness, a bit of that light fog and drizzle hanging around from an overnight system, making everything feel just a tad grey and muted. Temperatures have been surprisingly mild, especially for this time of year, with many spots hovering comfortably in the mid-50s. It’s almost a little deceptive, isn’t it?

But don't let that trick you into thinking it's staying warm. Oh no, New England weather, ever the dramatist, has a pretty significant plot twist headed our way. As we move through the afternoon, you might start to notice things clearing up a bit. That stubborn low pressure system is finally going to push eastward, paving the way for something entirely different. The real change, though, kicks in tonight.

As the sun sets and we head into Wednesday night, a cold front is set to sweep through our region. This isn't just a minor temperature dip; we're talking about a proper, noticeable drop. Expect those mild 50s to plummet rather quickly into the low 30s, and in some of the more sheltered spots, we could even see temperatures dip into the upper 20s. So, if you’re heading out or leaving anything sensitive outside, just a little heads-up: it’s going to get frosty. Clear skies will accompany this chill, making for a potentially stunning, albeit brisk, start to Thursday.

And speaking of Thursday, get ready for a true taste of late autumn. We're looking at plenty of sunshine, which will be lovely, but don't let that golden glow fool you. Air temperatures will struggle to get much above the low 40s, and with a bit of a brisk wind, it's going to feel even colder. Friday looks to be a carbon copy, really – crisp, bright, and chilly, with highs still hovering around the low to mid-40s. Perfect weather, you know, for those big sweaters and a warm drink.

As we glide into the weekend, Saturday promises to continue this trend of clear skies and cold temperatures, likely sticking in the upper 30s to low 40s. It'll be a fantastic day for any outdoor activities where you can bundle up and enjoy the crisp air. However, by Sunday, our weather narrative might take another small turn. We're keeping an eye on a developing system that could bring increasing clouds and a slight chance of some very light rain or perhaps even a few flurries, particularly later in the day, especially across southern areas. Temperatures will nudge up slightly, perhaps reaching the mid-40s, but it's still far from mild. So, enjoy the quiet, crisp air while it lasts, because New Hampshire weather, as always, keeps us on our toes!
