After the threat of icing, heavy rain will occur on Wednesday

The active winter weather pattern continues Tuesday, with the threat of freezing drizzle possibly leading to some slippery patches, but the pattern will shift again Wednesday as temperatures warm and winds increase for the next storm system. Snow, wintry mix and rain moved across the state Monday. Combined with patchy freezing drizzle in some places, this left some roads slick on Tuesday morning.>> Interactive Radar Ice on roads could continue in some areas, particularly north and west of Manchester, with more freezing drizzle possible during the day. Because of this, a winter weather advisory was in effect until Tuesday afternoon. >> National Weather Service Warnings: Temperatures will have difficulty warming above 32 degrees as clouds hang heavily into the afternoon. There will be periods of rain Tuesday evening as the next system approaches. Some pockets of freezing rain will likely remain in parts of central and northern New Hampshire Tuesday evening. It will be very mild in southern New Hampshire later Wednesday as temperatures reach 60 degrees. It will be significantly cooler north of Concord. Rain will continue for most of the day on Wednesday, with some heavier bands moving through. Many areas could see 1 to 2 inches or more of rain when the rain tapers off late Wednesday evening.>> View the current hourly timeline: As of 2019, most of New Hampshire is under a flood warning Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning. According to the National Weather Service, the heavy rain and snowmelt will increase river flows. “Cold air on the back side of the system will slow outflow Thursday and prevent overland flooding, but river action could continue through the end of the week,” the National Weather Service wrote in its bulletin. There may be a brief round of strong wind gusts Wednesday evening as a front moves through. Some gusts may reach speeds in excess of 40 to 50 miles per hour. A strong wind warning is in effect along the coast from Wednesday afternoon until late Wednesday night. Isolated failures are possible. Windy and seasonably cool conditions will prevail through the end of the week, with the greatest chance of snow showers in northern New Hampshire and the most sunshine further south and east.
