Will Rain Spoil Mother's Day in Salem?

Weather forecasters are predicting that it will probably be a damp and cool weekend in the state of New Hampshire.

Rain is expected for most of the weekend with the worst weather expected to occur in the late morning and early afternoon on Sunday. The sun, however, is expected to return on Monday.

In fact, AccuWeather.com forecasters are suggesting that the eastern part of the United States should expect a pretty wet May.

“While a brief break in the wet weather is coming early next week, rounds of rain will resume later next week and cause difficulties for outdoor plans and agriculture through much of May,” according to Alex Sosnowski, a senior meteorologist with the website.

But that doesn’t mean it’s going to be a wet summer.

“Heat will come on strong in June for the Northeast and mid-Atlantic,” according to a AccuWeather.com post by Jillian MacMath. “However, severe weather in July could turn the warm pattern on its head.”
