What's the Weather Like in Amherst this Week?

AMHERST, NH - Mother’s Day was supposed to be rainy but it just turned out to be damp in the morning. The rest of the day was nice, thankfully, and allowed all of our moms to have a great day.

And this week is looking pretty good, too, weather-wise, according to forecasters: Expect partly sunny skies during the early part of the week and then sunny skies by midweek. Temps will climb from the low 60s on Monday to the upper 70s on Thursday for most of the Granite State.

Rain, however, will hit the region toward the latter part of this week, according to AccuWeather.com.
