Britta Greene / NHPR

Thursday morning: Granite Staters begin the day with below zero temperatures, and with wind chill factors in double digits. The National Weather Service wind chill advisory is in effect until noon today.

  • Berlin: -4 with -20 wind chill
  • Concord: -3, -28 wind chill
  • Keene: -6, -24 wind chill
  • Manchester: 1, -18 wind chill
  • Rochester: -2, -18 wind chill

Wednesday morning:

With snow rolling out of the region, the National Weather Service has issued a wind chill advisory from tonight through Thursday for much of New Hampshire. Temperatures will plunge into the single digits, with wind chill temperatures reaching -20 to -30 in the state's northern counties. 

Tuesday afternoon:

The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning, with heavy snow possible through Wednesday morning in New Hampshire.
