Saturday’s Weather

A fall-like feel this weekend with temperatures 15 degrees below normal. Both today’s and Sunday’s highs are only in the low to mid-60s along with a chilly breeze.

The potential for a couple of inches of accumulating snow at the highest peaks in the White Mountains along with wind chills in the single digits may catch hikers off guard as conditions will be atypical for mid-June.
