Tracking the Storm

Low pressure deepens across the Southeast US on Sunday and will move northeastward Sunday night through the Mid Atlantic. Snow is expected to break out across southern New Hampshire after midnight Sunday night and quickly spread northeastward. With cold air in place, all areas are expected to begin as snow, but depending on the track of the system areas from Manchester to the coast stand a good chance to see precipitation change to rain. There remains some uncertainty in the exact track of the system so check-in for future updates. Screenshot 2022 01 13 6.33.10 PM
