New Hampshire Faces Mixed Precipitation as April Weather Shifts

CONCORD, N.H. — New Hampshire residents are bracing for a mix of rain and light snow as a weather system approaches from the south. This shift in conditions is expected to start Sunday morning and continue into Monday.

According to meteorologists, showers will begin early Sunday, but the skies are likely to clear up in the afternoon with milder temperatures. Highs are predicted to reach the low to mid-50s in southern areas and remain cooler in the north at around the mid-40s.

“While today’s morning will see some rain, it should transition into a brighter afternoon,” said meteorologist Jim Smith. “The real challenge arrives tonight with the potential for snow and mixed precipitation, particularly in southern New Hampshire and higher terrains.”

The National Weather Service reports that areas from the Massachusetts border through the Lakes Region could see anywhere from a dusting up to an inch of snow by Monday morning. Northern parts of the state could experience slightly more accumulation as the system moves in.

On Monday, light snow and mixed precipitation will continue to affect travel, particularly during morning commutes. Forecasters are warning that untreated roads could become slick, especially in higher elevations.

“Drivers should exercise caution as conditions could be tricky during Monday morning’s drive,” added Smith. “There may be isolated areas that get more than just a dusting, with some higher terrains possibly seeing up to 3 inches.”

As the skies clear, more settled weather is expected for midweek. Tuesday will see less precipitation, but temperatures will remain cool. Following that, residents can expect a bright Wednesday, though temperatures will drop again on Thursday.

The long-term forecast indicates a potential for rain returning by Thursday night and lasting into the weekend, marking another active weather pattern for New Hampshire.
