Severe Thunderstorms Threaten Parts of New Hampshire This Weekend
Hey everyone, just a quick but important update on the weather situation here in New Hampshire. As of this Sunday, the National Weather Service has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for several areas across the state, and it’s something we all need to pay close attention to.
If you’re in Strafford, Belknap, Merrimack, or Carroll counties , you’re currently under an official severe thunderstorm warning that’s set to remain in effect until at least 6:15 p.m. And even beyond that, there’s a broader thunderstorm watch in place for Belknap, Cheshire, Hillsborough, Sullivan, Strafford, Rockingham, and Merrimack counties , lasting through 9 p.m. tonight .

Now, what does that actually mean for you? We’re talking about potentially dangerous weather , including strong wind gusts , damaging hail , and torrential downpours . These storms could hit quickly and with force, so you’ll want to stay updated if you’re out and about. Trees, power lines, and lightweight outdoor objects could be at risk if winds intensify as expected. Some of the gusts could approach or even exceed 60 mph , which is definitely no joke.
So here’s the plan—if you’re outside right now or planning to be later this evening, keep an eye on the sky . The most intense activity should begin tapering off after 7 p.m. , especially as the system moves off the coast and things begin to dry out overnight.
Looking ahead into the week, things will cool down and dry up a bit after tonight. By Monday morning, we’re expecting clear skies and lower humidity , with daytime highs in the 70s , which should feel like a breath of fresh air. But don’t get too comfortable— heat and humidity will start creeping back in toward the end of the week, with temps possibly reaching around 90 degrees again by Thursday and Friday .
For now, just be weather-aware. If you haven’t already, download the WMUR app for real-time updates, radar images, and alerts tailored to your location. It’s a good way to stay one step ahead, especially when storms like this pop up. You can also follow the Storm Watch 9 team on social media for more personalized coverage throughout the evening.
Bottom line: stay safe, stay dry, and don’t take these warnings lightly. Mother Nature’s flexing her muscles this weekend, and it’s better to be overprepared than caught off guard.
