Spring Snow Expected in New Hampshire and Maine on Monday

After a stretch of spring-like weather, a cold front is ushering in cooler air across New Hampshire and Maine. This will set the stage for a widespread, albeit light, snowfall on Monday morning. The snow will arrive in southern and western New Hampshire around sunrise, spreading across the state by 9 a.m. The snow is expected to change over to rain in southern and coastal parts of New Hampshire by midday, with the precipitation pulling away by Monday evening. Maine will also experience this wintry system, with snow transitioning to rain, especially along the coast. The system is not expected to be a major storm, but it could still create slick travel conditions. Road crews are expected to manage the situation, given the slow accumulation rate of the snow. Temperatures will be in the teens and 20s on Sunday night, rising to the upper 30s on Monday. After the snow moves out, Tuesday will see sunshine and temperatures approaching 50 degrees in southern New Hampshire.

Q: Will the snow impact travel?

Yes, there could be slick travel conditions, especially during the Monday morning commute. Impacts are expected to be medium from 9-10 a.m. to about 2 p.m. on Monday.

Q: How much snow is expected?

A coating to 1 inch is expected from Rochester to the Merrimack Valley. The Lakes Region and points north and west could see 1 to 3 inches, with locally higher totals near the White Mountains and Mount Washington Valley. Maine is expecting a dusting to two inches, potentially 2 to 4 in some areas.
