Flooding Closes Route 4 in New Hampshire; Rain Expected to Continue
MANCHESTER, N.H. — A section of Route 4 in Orange remains closed due to flooding, with state police reporting the closure between Cross Road and Razer Hill Road. The New Hampshire Department of Transportation plans to assess the situation, though no timeline for reopening has been provided.
Heavy rain is expected to persist over the next few days as moisture circulates from a slow-moving low-pressure system. Afternoon temperatures are anticipated to remain in the 50s, with southern New Hampshire potentially receiving an additional 1-2 inches of rainfall by Tuesday. While widespread flooding is not expected, localized minor flooding may occur in areas with poor drainage or in low-lying regions, potentially causing ponding on roads.
This rainfall is seen as beneficial in alleviating ongoing drought conditions, as well as easing concerns about brush fires and high pollen levels. By mid-week, temperatures are expected to rise to the 60s, with a reduced chance of isolated showers or thundershowers.
