Latest storm update from Emerg. Ops Center in NH: HSEM spoke with NWS Gray this morning about the anticipated system headed our way this weekend. Snow is expected to move into the state around 8am tomorrow. It is a fairly quick moving storm and will be headed out between 8pm and midnight, Saturday night. The southeastern half of the state is expected to see the highest totals of snow, around 4-8”. Currently there are winter storm watches in place for Hillsborough, Rockingham and Strafford counties which can expect over 6” of snow. The system has a sharp gradient to the northwest, so there will be a stark contrast for areas that will see 6”+ of snow and for areas that will much smaller amounts. The snow is expected to be heavy and wet. There is a chance for midday Saturday in southeastern portions for a mix of precipitation with sleet or mixing rain. Minimal ice accretion is expected. Temperatures will be around low 30s for the duration of the storm, with colder air moving in Sunday. At the height of the storm, winds are anticipated to be 10-15mph with gusts of 25mph or higher on the coast. The confidence in this system is high, however there is still some uncertainty with the exact tract. If the storm track were to shift a few miles it could significantly adjust the areas to receive the heaviest snow. There is another low pressure system on the forecast for Monday, however it is currently expected to be mostly out to see. There is still a chance for light snow in southeastern NH.
