Friday’s Weather

The snowstorm will produce snowfall rates of 1-2 inches per hour, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Therefore expectations are for roads conditions to deteriorate rapidly through the morning into the afternoon. Snowfall will start to taper off this evening and will come to an end early tonight.

WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT 

Heavy snow with total snow accumulations between 8 and 12 inches are expected in portions of central, northern, and southern New Hampshire until 1 a.m. Saturday. The potential exists for snow bands that will bring periods of locally heavy snowfall, which will lead to rapid snow accumulations. Near whiteout conditions are possible leading to extremely dangerous travel conditions. Travel will be very difficult due to low visibility and snow-covered roads. The hazardous conditions will impact this morning and evening commutes. If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency.
