Mike certainly a damp and unsettled day, it did start off wintery in some parts of the state with that mix of wet snow, sleet and freezing rain. But right now its primarily rain statewide. Most of it on the light side. Take a look at the time lapse out at the coast today, we did have a dry start, but shortly after 8 30 at the coast and earlier farther to the west, the rain was starting to move in. Still damp roads along with some fog that is dropping visibilities quite low. Notice the steady rain, beginning to shift out of most of New Hampshire, southern parts of the Granite State still dealing with the steady light rainfall. Anywhere from concord points south. But not a whole lot of rain to come, as we go through the next several hours. New york and vermont, just spotty sprinkles at best. The steady rain to our south and east will move just off to our south overnight into tomorrow morning. So not a whole lot of rain left over, still damp and on the mild side. Yes, it is quite chilly in parts of central New Hampshire, upper 30s in the lakes region. Plymouth just barely above freezing. Concord only at 37. Same story in nashua. But you get into the higher terrain up north, approaching 50. Some of the higher terrain in the monadnock region same story. With the light southerly win, temperatures will actually be climbing or Holding Steady during the overnight. So these are not low temperatures, these are the actual readings by midnight, one, two, three in the morning, low 40s north and mid to upper 40s in southern parts of the state. Well above normal high temperatures for this time of year. Now, there is a lot of cold air back to our west. Not unseasonably chilly, but just more seasonable. Back through the plains states, the Central Plains as well, and into parts of the mississippi valley. Eventually that cool air makes it in here, starting later tomorrow night into friday, and the weekend. In terms of big storms to track, not a lot between now and tomorrow outside a couple showers that may scoot in tomorrow morning. You can see it reflected on future cast. Not a whole lot of rain, but a shower here or there along with dense fog in some spots. Tomorrow morning patchy clouds left over, could be a sprinkle or light shower south and east of concord of but statewide late morning and afternoon right into the sun and warm temperatures. Then friday there will be thicker cloud cover approaching southeastern parts of new england. May brush southeastern massachusetts with steady snow. Cant rule out a few flurries that make it into southeastern New Hampshire early friday morning, then back to dry and seasonably cool the rest of your friday, and the rest of the upcoming weekend. Temperature wise tomorrow, low concord points south and east. About 20 degrees above the average. Again, cooler as we go into friday, as we get into the weekend partly sunny each day. Could be a flurry early on sunday. Then there will be two storms were tracking for the monday through early wednesday time frame. The first one should scoot south and east of New Hampshire, maybe a few flurries monday night. The second one as long as its close to that first one it wont have enough room to intensify that much. So right now im going to forecast snow for tuesday, but on the light side. Well see, we got a couple more days to watch our computer models here. But right now doesnt look like a major storm, but it may get in the way of some trying to head to the polls. Josh could affect turnout, well see.

Ill make new trade deals. Ill make deems on the military, ill make tremendous deals and we will become rich again and we will become great again. But if youre a debtor nation like we are right now with 19 trillion in debt, tremendous deficits and Everything Else thats going on, its a sure road to disaster. I will bring money back, i will bring jobs back, ill bring really what i do best. I have a spine, i have a back bone. Ive made tough decisions in my life. Done it as governor. I think we need a leader who doesnt stick his finker in the wind and see which way the wind is blowing, who doesnt focus group everything, who doesnt read polls, who does what he thinks is right. Who listens, has the humility to listen to people and learn from them, but then when he makes his decision that he leads, and he does it with with fortitude and determination. I think a quality of humility. Enough humility to ask god for wisdom, enough humility to listen to people who are experts and lots of different areas. Because there is no one person who knows everything. Ive spent 18 years on the board of kellogg and 16 years on the board of cost co, got to work with a lot of c. E. O. S. One of the things you learn is everything, but the c. E. O. Surrounds themselves with people who do know a lot of other things and thats why you have a Vice President of h. R. , of finance, of mergers and acquisitions. And you work with all these people to formulate and to execute plans. But you have to have a degree of humility in order to do that.

Notice how much dryer it is upstream, but the wind field is fairly light. And a lot of low level moisture meets areas of fog through early tomorrow morning and there could be a shower that scoots through southeastern New Hampshire early on thursday morning. Outside of that it will be dry. Take a look at temperatures, right now stuck in the mid to merrimack valley, from litchfield back through manchester over towards bedford, but right now anywhere around pelham, windham, through hampstead, 50 plus. Same story in new ipswich and jaffrey. So the warmer air is beginning to make its presence felt in some parts of southern New Hampshire and to the north it the higher terrain.

And overnight tonight, take a they either hold steady or climb into a very unseasonably warm pattern. Notice the changes coming down the road, it is cooler back through the plains states and great lakes, and that will be marching towards the east by later tomorrow night into friday. So after an Early Morning shower tomorrow, its mainly dry, for the few days to follow. With not a whole lot of precipitation, but cooler temperatures bringing us at least closer to average. Could be a shower through early tomorrow. Outside of that, increasing sun, very warm, 40s and lower 50s. Then on friday a very close call with some rain and snow trying to scoot in over southeastern parts of massachusetts. It may graze southeastern New Hampshire with a few flurries along about early friday morning. At this point it doesnt look like much more than a dusting. If that backs in a little more then there could be a little more than a dusting along the coastline. But outside of that its dry into the weekend, maybe a few flurries early sunday. Outside of that seasonably monday we start off bright, clouds roll in late, could be a few flurries late and two storms that were going to track right now if everything works out just so we would see a little light as to on tuesday, as opposed to getting hit by either one of them head on.
