Video: Flash flood watch posted for parts of the state
A flash flood watch will be in effect for southern NH tonight and Thursday morning.
The remnants of Ida are approaching and heavier rain is likely for some part of NH tonight. A nice stretch follows into the start of the holiday weekend.
Any sunny breaks will give way to clouds today as the remnants of Ida approach. Some lighter showers will start developing during the mid/late afternoon in southern before it really picks up in the evening. Highs will be in the low-to-mid 70s with a light breeze.
As the remnants of Ida make their closest pass later tonight, the best chance of heavier rain will be in southern and central NH. Most of the rain looks to fall tonight and into the early morning hours of Thursday.
At this point it looks like 1.5 to 3.5 inches of rain could fall in the southern half of NH with lower amounts farther north. Any amount over 3 inches could result in some flooding overnight into early Thursday morning. If those amounts climb even just a bit more, the chance for flooding will increase.
It will be clearing and breezy Thursday, with a partly sunny sky Friday. Highs both days will be in the 60s to lower 70s with dew points dropping into the 40s.
Saturday looks bright and pleasant ahead of a few scattered showers and t-showers by Sunday.
