South southwest winds will remain gusty today. Some locations may even see a gust up to 35 mph at times through the afternoon. Temperatures will also soar into the 70s and maybe creep into the 80s across southern New Hampshire. An approaching front will help to set off thunderstorms this afternoon, and a few of these may be strong to severe. The primary hazard with any severe storms will be damaging winds. That front crosses the area Wednesday through Thursday and will bring a widespread beneficial rainfall to the area. Then the weather returns to cooler and showery Friday through the weekend.
