Video: Hot, humid before cooler stretch; some weekend rain likely

Added: 2026-05-27

[00:00:01]HOW THAT COULD PLAY A ROLE IN OUR SUMMER WEATHER.

[00:00:05]HERE’S THE THING.

[00:00:06]WE NEED RAIN TO CURB THE DROUGHT.

[00:00:08]AND WE’RE GETTING A LITTLE BIT TODAY.

[00:00:10]A LITTLE TASTE OF SOME WET WEATHER OUT THERE IN A FEW SPOTS ON THIS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

[00:00:14]THIS IS A COLD FRONT CROSSING THROUGH THE STATE.

[00:00:17]AND THIS IS GOING TO MARK THE END OF THIS WARM AND HUMID STRETCH WE’VE BEEN IN THIS WEEK.

[00:00:22]A COUPLE OF SHOWERS AND A FEW EMBEDDED DOWNPOURS AS WELL.

[00:00:25]MOVING THROUGH THE JERICHO MOUNTAIN STATE PARK REGION OF BERLIN.

[00:00:27]THIS IS GOING TO CROSS THROUGH RIGHT OVER 16 HERE, AND WILL EVENTUALLY WIND UP RIGHT ALONG THE MAINE BORDER IN THE NEXT HALF HOUR.

[00:00:35]PRETTY ROBUST, ROBUST DOWNPOUR HERE, RIGHT NEAR THE BRETTON WOODS AREA AND THROUGH FRANCONIA NOTCH, ONE POPPING UP JUST ON THE SOUTHERN SIDE OF WOODSTOCK.

[00:00:43]IF THAT ONE BLOSSOMS, IT WILL TRACK TOWARD WATERVILLE VALLEY PROBABLY BY AROUND 115 OR SO.

[00:00:48]A FEW MORE SHOWERS WE’RE WATCHING CROSSING THROUGH THE UPPER VALLEY RIGHT NOW.

[00:00:52]THIS INCLUDES YOU ENFIELD CANAAN RIGHT DOWN TOWARD THE CONNECTICUT VALLEY BORDER THERE NEAR WINDSOR, VERMONT, AND ALONG ROUTE FIVE COULD SEE A FEW MORE OF THESE START TO BLOSSOM IN THE MERRIMACK VALLEY AND CLOSER TO THE SEA COAST BETWEEN ABOUT TWO AND 3 P.M.

[00:01:05]BUT THE THING IS, THE TIMING IS JUST NOT GOING TO WORK OUT FOR ANY APPRECIABLE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY OTHER THAN JUST YOUR GARDEN VARIETY DOWNPOUR.

[00:01:13]CLAP OF THUNDER.

[00:01:14]CERTAINLY THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT LOCALLY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, VERY LOW THIS AFTERNOON.

[00:01:18]THAT WILL BE GREATEST FOR OUR NEIGHBORS TO OUR SOUTH IN MASSACHUSETTS, CONNECTICUT AND RHODE ISLAND.

[00:01:23]BY 4:00 THINGS ARE DRYING OUT.

[00:01:25]SO THE EVENING COMMUTE, MUCH IMPROVED CONDITIONS, AND WE’RE LOOKING AHEAD TO SOMEWHAT BETTER CONDITIONS OUT THERE LATER ON TONIGHT.

[00:01:32]THIS IS THE VIEW OF MANCHESTER RIGHT NOW.

[00:01:35]TEMPERATURES SITTING AT 86 DEGREES.

[00:01:36]A BIT OF A BREEZE OUT THERE.

[00:01:38]NOTICE THE DEW POINT AS WELL SITTING IN THE 60S.

[00:01:40]SO WE DO STILL HAVE THAT MUGGY FEEL IN A LOT OF SPOTS.

[00:01:42]SHOWERS HAVE KNOCKED THE TEMPERATURE IN BERLIN DOWN TO 69, BUT YOU GET DOWN TO PLYMOUTH STILL IN THE MID 80S THERE, 86 IN CONCORD OUT ON THE SEACOAST A FEW SPOTS APPROACHING THE UPPER 80S, DEW POINTS ARE STILL FAIRLY ELEVATED, MEANING THE AIR IS STILL QUITE STICKY AND UNCOMFORTABLE, BUT IT TURNS MUCH DRIER TONIGHT.

[00:02:00]AND THAT MEANS A MORE REFRESHING AIR MASS WILL BE IN PLACE AFTER THE HEAT TODAY.

[00:02:04]YOU CAN PROBABLY OPEN UP THE WINDOWS BEFORE BED TONIGHT TO LET SOME OF THE COOLER AIR INTO YOUR HOUSE.

[00:02:09]MID AND UPPER 80S FAR SOUTH.

[00:02:11]A FEW SPOTS LIKE NASHUA, SALEM OVER TO HAMPTON COULD BE APPROACHING 90 BRIEFLY, BUT THEN ANY POP UP SHOWER OR DOWNPOUR WOULD LIKELY TEMPORARILY KNOCK THOSE TEMPERATURES BACK A FEW DEGREES.

[00:02:20]LOOK AT THE REFRESHING CHANGE TONIGHT.

[00:02:23]40S NORTH, LOW 50S.

[00:02:24]SOUTH.

[00:02:25]THERE WILL LIKELY BE A DECK OF CLOUDS OVERHEAD, AND THAT COULD SPELL JUST SOME GRAY SKIES.

[00:02:30]NOT EXPECTING ANY RAIN TO FALL THOSE CLOUDS TOMORROW MORNING, BUT THEY SHOULD BRIGHTEN UP THOUGH, WITH TEMPERATURES SITTING IN THE 60S.

[00:02:37]THAT FRONT WILL BE TO OUR SOUTH TOMORROW.

[00:02:39]SO THE RAIN WITH IT STAYING TO OUR SOUTH, HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE THE DOMINANT WEATHER FEATURE FOR FRIDAY.

[00:02:44]THAT MEANS IT’S SUNNY AND IT’S COMFORTABLE TO END THE WORKWEEK.

[00:02:47]AND THIS DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE IS GOING TO PLAY A ROLE IN OUR WEATHER OVER THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND, AS SOME WET WEATHER TRIES TO APPROACH FROM THE WEST.

[00:02:56]CAN THIS HOLD TOUGH, OR ULTIMATELY, DO WE GET IN ON SOME SHOWERS?

[00:03:00]I THINK FOR SATURDAY PLANS IT’S GREAT WITH A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS, BUT BY SUNDAY A FEW SHOWERS MAY TRY AND CREEP INTO OUR AREA, ESPECIALLY IN SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE.

[00:03:07]BEST SHOT AT SOME WET WEATHER IS ON MEMORIAL DAY, BUT WITH THAT SAID, IT’S NOT A COMPLETE WASHOUT BY ANY MEANS.
