New Hampshire Weather 3/9 Morning - 20° Above Normal

Good morning. New Hampshire. I'm DJ Huzz. Step outside right now and you're at 35 degrees. Feels crisp. But here's the thing. That chill won't last. We're about to see a wild warm-up. Deep southwest winds are pumping warmth into the state today. By mid-afternoon, most of us hit the mid-60s. Southern New Hampshire climbs to 66 degrees. Central areas match that. Even the White Mountains reach 65 degrees. That's more than 20 degrees above normal for early March — the kind of heat that melts snowpack fast and makes you question your winter coat choices. South winds gust to 30 miles an hour through the afternoon, helping stir that mild air down to the surface. Tonight stays mild too. Lows only drop to the low 30s statewide under mostly clear skies. Tuesday cranks up the warmth even more. Sunshine dominates. And highs push into the upper 60s. Southern spots hit 68 degrees. Central New Hampshire reaches 69 degrees. The mountains top out at 67 degrees. Perfect weather for a lunchtime walk if you ask me. But don't get too comfortable. Wednesday brings a backdoor cold front sliding in from the northeast. Clouds thicken. And rain develops — especially up north. The White Mountains could see heavy rain with some sleet mixing in. Southern areas stay mostly dry. Thursday turns messy. Rain likely statewide, transitioning to a rain-snow mix by afternoon as colder air rushes in. Then temperatures crash hard — from the upper 50s Thursday morning to the low 20s by Friday morning. That's a 35-degree drop in 24 hours. Friday and the weekend stay cold with scattered snow chances. Another system eyes us for Saturday. See you this afternoon.
