Heat Advisory Issued By The National Weather Service, Thunderstorms Heading To New Hampshire

CONCORD, NH — Here and there, it will be a partially nice weather weekend in New Hampshire.

Forecasters with the National Weather Service issued a “hazardous weather outlook” heat advisory through Friday night — with heat index values between 95 and 100 expected.

“Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors,” the alert stated. “Take extra precautions when outside. Wear lightweight and loose-fitting clothing. Try to limit strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Take action when you see symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.”

However, things will cool off slightly after a cold front moves into the region, bringing thunderstorms in its wake.

“Some storms may become strong to severe, with all severe hazards possible as well as torrential rainfall,” the alert stated.

Temps will be in the lower 90s on Friday with rain and t-storms expected around 2 p.m. in Concord and the capital region, Nashua, and the southern and central parts of the state. Expect showers between 3 and 4 p.m. on the Seacoast. Overnight lows will be in the mid-60s.

Sunny skies are expected on Saturday with temps in the upper 80s. Overnight lows will be in the lower 60s.

Similar weather is expected on Sunday, with showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon, early evening, and overnight. Highs will be in the mid-80s.

More hot and sunny weather on Monday, with highs in the lower 90s. But the rain returns on Tuesday.
