UPDATE: A severe cold front is gripping the region this Christmas night, with temperatures plummeting between 10°F and 22°F across the area. Winds are expected to lighten, providing a brief respite from the bitter chill.
Weather experts warn that light snow is set to impact the region late tonight, specifically from 10 PM to 6 AM on December 26, primarily affecting areas south and west of Laconia. This could lead to slick road conditions overnight, causing potential travel disruptions for those on the road.
As we move into Saturday, skies will clear, but temperatures will remain frigid, with highs only reaching the 20s. Residents can expect sunny conditions, although the chill in the air continues to dominate.
Looking ahead to Sunday, a significant weather shift is on the way. Milder air will begin to move in, setting the stage for a wintry mix of sleet and freezing rain on Sunday night. This will transition to rain for most areas by Monday morning, creating potentially hazardous travel conditions. Authorities are urging residents to prepare for slow and slippery roads during the Monday morning commute.
Officials advise caution if traveling on Monday, as conditions are expected to improve significantly by the afternoon. Stay tuned for further updates as this developing weather system progresses.
This rapid change in weather patterns emphasizes the need for vigilance among residents, especially those planning holiday travels. With the holiday spirit in the air, it’s critical to remain informed about these immediate weather developments.
