The Weekend Weather Waltz: What New Hampshire's Skies Have In Store For Us

Ah, the weekend! And just like clockwork, New Hampshire’s weather is poised to remind us who’s truly in charge, isn’t it? If you were hoping for a perfectly clear-cut, simple forecast – you know, something you could plan around without a second thought – well, you might be out of luck. But then again, a little unpredictability is just part of our undeniable charm here in the Granite State, wouldn't you say? This isn't exactly a tropical paradise, after all.

Honestly, Friday night might offer a rather pleasant start, a calm before… well, not quite a storm, but certainly a shift. We’re looking at temperatures that feel, shall we say, autumnal, crisp even, dipping into the low 40s or high 30s in many spots as the night wears on. It'll be clear, thankfully, a fine evening for a jacketed stroll or perhaps just watching the stars if you’re up for it. And Saturday morning? You could probably count on some bright, cheerful sunshine to kick things off, a genuinely lovely stretch for that morning coffee or perhaps a quick errand. Highs might even nudge into the mid-50s in some southern areas, a gentle warmth, you know?

But hold on, because New England weather rarely lets us settle too comfortably. By Saturday afternoon, the script starts to change a bit. We’ll likely see clouds gathering, a subtle shift in the sky’s mood. It won’t be dramatic, not at first, but it's a prelude. And then, as we lean into Saturday evening and Sunday, the chances for some wet weather undeniably climb. We're talking rain, yes, and perhaps a touch of that classic New Hampshire drizzle. Temperatures, in truth, will probably hang around the low 50s for Sunday, but that dampness, combined with a bit of a breeze, could make it feel considerably cooler. So, if you had grand outdoor plans for Sunday, a good umbrella – or maybe even a backup indoor activity – wouldn't be the worst idea in the world, would it?

So there you have it, folks: a truly mixed bag for our upcoming weekend. From those initial clear, crisp moments to the eventual arrival of moisture, it’s a forecast that demands a certain level of adaptability. Keep those layers handy, embrace the variety, and remember, this is just New Hampshire being… well, New Hampshire. It’s what we sign up for, isn’t it?
