Winter weather is set to return to New Hampshire, with snow showers expected in southern parts of the state on Tuesday. A coastal flood advisory is in effect for the New Hampshire coastline, with high flooding concerns during Tuesday afternoon’s high tide. The projected track for this system is farther south than expected, shifting the main storm impacts into southern New England. No snowfall accumulation is expected for the Lakes Region, White Mountains, and the Great North Woods, with minimal impacts felt in the northern half of the state.
Along the coast, tides have been running astronomically high, prompting a coastal flood watch for Tuesday. Minor coastal flooding is possible during Tuesday’s high tide, which is set to peak at 2 p.m. Moving forward, there is a chance of snow showers late Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning, with the potential for windy and cold weather on Wednesday with some sun and flurries in the far north. Additionally, there is another chance of light snow from Thursday night into early Friday morning. As winter weather makes a comeback in New Hampshire, staying informed and being weather-aware is important.
Fair skies with increasing clouds are expected across southern and central NH overnight, with light snow showers anticipated in parts of southern New Hampshire during the morning commute. Impact on travel is likely to be low, except for those traveling farther south into Massachusetts where more snow is expected. Snow showers are projected to wrap up by mid-afternoon on Tuesday, with only a dusting to 1 inch possible in far southern NH, and more snow expected farther south in Massachusetts.
