Forecasters Issue Winter Storm Watch For Central And Southern New Hampshire: Follow-Up

The National Weather Service issued alerts and updates at just past 10 a.m., just before 2 p.m., and again after 3 p.m. on Saturday, posting a storm watch for Sunday through Monday morning. Forecasters said heavy snow was possible, with total accumulations greater than 6 inches.

“Periods of moderate and heavy snow will combine with low visibility to create dangerous driving conditions,” an afternoon alert stated. “The hazardous conditions could impact the Monday morning commute.”

The watch is in effect from 4 p.m. on Sunday to 7 a.m. on Monday.

“Even light snowfall amounts can accumulate on roads and cause dangerous driving conditions due to snow-covered roads,” the morning alert stated. “The hazardous conditions could impact the Monday morning commute.”

Forecasters also warned in the afternoon of some roadway icing on Saturday night as wet roadways freeze.

The storm will start around 4 p.m. on Sunday in Concord and the capital region. It will bring as much as 2 inches of snow. Snow will continue overnight, with temps in the single digits and gusts as high as 20 mph. Another 3 to 7 inches of snow is expected in Concord overnight.

In Nashua, Hillsborough County, and inland Rockingham County, about an inch is expected on Sunday between 2 and 5 p.m. and then another 4 to 8 inches overnight. Temperatures will be in the 20s with gusts around 20 mph.

Similar snow accumulation is expected on the Seacoast.

Forecasters at AccuWeather.com are calling for slightly higher accumulations, between 6 and 12 inches, for southern and central New Hampshire.

The sun returns on Monday, but it will be cold — in the teens with gusts as high as 25 mph.
