Severe weather is on the horizon for New Hampshire as the state braces for a hot day with temperatures soaring above 90 degrees in southern areas. A heat advisory remains in effect until 8 PM, with heat indices potentially reaching the mid to upper 90s. Residents should be prepared for the possibility of strong storms this afternoon, with a roughly 25% chance of showers or thunderstorms developing. These storms may bring brief periods of heavy rainfall and gusty winds.
As the day progresses, humidity levels are expected to decrease, leading to a more comfortable evening. Overnight temperatures will drop into the 50s and lower 60s, setting the stage for a pleasant Saturday. The weekend looks promising, with lower humidity, ample sunshine, and temperatures in the low to mid 80s for Saturday. However, the forecast does indicate a few clouds may drift in by Saturday evening.
Looking to Sunday, there’s potential for some passing showers, mainly in the afternoon, but it is anticipated that these will not significantly disrupt outdoor activities. Humidity will slightly increase, contrasting with the comfortable conditions of Saturday.
Next week, hot and humid weather is expected to return on Monday and Tuesday, with temperatures again reaching around 90 degrees. A front moving through on Tuesday afternoon may bring additional chances for rain and thunderstorms. This pattern reflects the typical unpredictability of July weather in New Hampshire, but with the welcome relief of lower humidity this Saturday, residents can enjoy a refreshing break.
Overall, the evolving weather conditions remind us of the importance of staying informed and prepared, particularly during significant heat and storm events.
