What Day is the Perfect Weekend Weather Day in Exeter?

EXETER, NH - While the weather could change, if you’re looking to get out and about this weekend, Friday night and Saturday during the day are going to be the best bets weather-wise, according to forecasters.

Expect some showers to move into New Hampshire on Saturday, probably in the early evening, followed by cloudy skies and a slight chance of rain on Sunday.

AccuWeather.com meteorologists are suggesting that even though May has been a bit on the cool side – about three to five degrees below average – temperatures are trending up for next week and the rest of the month.

If you’re watching – or betting – on the Preakness Stakes on Saturday in Baltimore, expect the track to be a bit sloppy.
