Incoming snowstorm to bring at least 8 inches for most of New Hampshire Friday

here’s the latest on the snowfall coming in tomorrow. With the colder air continuing to come in this afternoon. Winter storm warnings in effect. And we’ll be starting to take effect later on this evening for the southern half of the state where we have winter storm watches farther north. We are looking at the most focused of the snow in southern New Hampshire, where some spots could be locally over a foot of accumulation in general, the amounts will trail off greatly the farther north you go timing is from the predawn hours through early tomorrow evening and the heaviest will likely be focused from mid morning through mid afternoon where snowfall rates at times could be over one inch per hour. You can notice here on future cast that things are relatively quiet all the way through the evening commute and then from there, clouds will start increasing later tonight with snow developing as quickly as one or two a.m. And a few western areas of the state. It continues to work its way northeastward as we go through the early morning hours and by the time we get toward the morning commute just about everyone seeing an accumulating snow from their snowfall rates at over an inch per hour. At times we go through the morning and into the early afternoon It will start to fade away later in the day and eventually ending by seven or 8:00 in the evening as it pulls away and again it will be a very light fluffy snow with temperatures only in the twenties travel will obviously not necessarily be all that great, especially during the mid to late morning and afternoon hours on your friday. It gets much better for the weekend, though, with partial sunshine expected. A widespread 8 to 14 inch snowfall is expected from the Lakes region south, with lesser amounts farther north. Quiet weekend expected for us out there, with the chillier air remaining in place.
