Weather Man says: “Yes, there’s snow in them thar hills.”
MANCHESTER, NH – The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch in advance of a “major coastal storm” possible Thursday and Thursday Night.
Low pressure will take shape east of Florida during the day Wednesday and then rapidly strengthen as it lifts north to a position off the New England coast on Thursday and into the Canadian maritimes Thursday night. This storm has the potential to bring heavy snow and strong winds, especially to coastal sections of Maine and New Hampshire where blizzard conditions are possible.
Some uncertainty remains with regard to the exact track of this storm, so stay tuned to continuing updates. As this storm departs on Friday, bitterly cold air will arrive from Canada, along with strong northwesterly winds.
Winds gusting as high as 35 mph will cause areas of blowing and drifting snow. Cold wind chills as low as 20 below zero will cause frostbite in as little as 30 minutes to exposed skin.
Below is the weather rundown for the foreseeable future:
