Good morning. New Hampshire. I'm DJ Huzz.
Folks, today is the warmest day you're getting this week. Lock it in. Temperatures are shooting into the low 70s statewide — nearly 20 degrees warmer than normal for mid-March. The spring equinox is 10 days out. And today feels like a sneak preview.
Southern New Hampshire starts around 37 degrees this morning, then rockets to 73 by mid-afternoon. That's a 36-degree swing in a few hours. Central areas wake up colder at 25 degrees but still climb to 72. Even the White Mountains hit 68. Sunshine dominates. Light southwest winds. Perfect weather for getting outside if you ask me.
But here's the thing. This warmth doesn't stick around.
As the sun sets. Tonight, clouds roll in, a slight chance of sprinkles develops after 3 A.M. — nothing heavy. Lows drop to the upper 30s statewide.
Wednesday brings the shift, a cold front sags south out of Quebec. And rain spreads across southern areas. The mountains? That's where it gets interesting, sleet and freezing rain take over as cold air locks in. Classic March setup — warm front stalls south of the border. And frozen precipitation wins up north, while highs only reach the low 50s. That's a 20-degree drop from today.
Moving on. Thursday, rain wraps up by midday. A brief warm-up tries to break through in the south before cooler air returns. Highs in the mid-50s. Friday stays seasonable — low 40s with mostly sunny skies. A weak system brings snow chances Friday night, mainly north, while saturday clears out with highs in the mid-40s. Sunday turns unsettled again with rain and snow chances increasing.
Soak up today's warmth. You won't see it again for a while.
Looking ahead.
See you this afternoon.
