Soaking rain in the forecast as most of NH remains in moderate drought

A soaking rain is expected to arrive Thursday evening across New Hampshire, where moderate drought still persists.

The National Weather Service reports that thunderstorms are possible in central New Hampshire and wind gusts could reach up to 40 mph.

Their forecast indicates that the White Mountains and foothills could get the heaviest rainfall, as much as 1 inch.

Rangers with the state Division of Forests & Lands posted Wednesday’s fire danger at moderate levels.

WMUR reports firefighters from half a dozen communities responded in Deerfield on Tuesday to help the Deerfield Fire Department contain a brush fire, which was exacerbated by windy conditions.

After this rain storm, New Hampshire can expect to see mostly sunny days Thursday and Friday. The next chance of rain is Saturday afternoon and evening.

Responding to an outcry from New Hampshire Gov. Kelly Ayotte concerning the taxing of ski lift tickets, Vail Resorts announced a plan for its New Hampshire-based properties to ski tax-free. Purchasers of multi-resort plans, such as the Epic pass, who only plan to access Vail’s four New Hampshire resorts, will not have a tax added to their purchase by the company.
