.DISCUSSION...
A round of showers arrives overnight into Sunday, but
is not expected to be wetting at many locations. Some additional showers or
thunderstorms develop Sunday afternoon, focused on southern
NH. These will have the potential to contain heavy rain,
but may be very isolated. The next chance of more widespread
wetting rains arrives Monday into Monday night. This
precipitation may be locally heavy, mainly in the mountains
under gusterly southerly winds.
