Urgent Weather Alert: Light Snow Tonight, Wintry Mix Monday

URGENT UPDATE: A frigid Christmas night is set to continue with severe cold impacting the region today, December 29, 2023. Temperatures will struggle to reach highs between 10°F and 22°F as lighter winds provide little relief from the chill.

Tonight, starting at 10 PM, residents south and west of Laconia can expect a touch of light snow that could affect travel conditions overnight into Saturday morning, lasting until 6 AM. As the system moves in, quick clearing is anticipated on Saturday, though temperatures will remain uncomfortably cold with highs only reaching the 20s.

Looking ahead, a significant weather shift is predicted for Sunday night into Monday, January 1, 2024. An approaching weather system will bring a wintry mix of sleet and freezing rain starting late Sunday. This hazardous combination will transition to rain for most areas by Monday morning, creating potentially treacherous traveling conditions.

Authorities are warning that travel could be very slow and slippery on Monday morning, urging caution for all commuters. Improved conditions are expected by the afternoon as the rain tapers off.
