Haley, what are the skies liking hayley the biggest story is the colder air that has moved in too, but we have clear skies across much of the state. We have beautiful sunshine for most of the day, take a look at these High Temperatures. There was a noticeable difference compared to yesterday when many of us got into the 50s, even mid 50s. 46 was our High Temperature in concord. 44 in manchester. About 45 in nashua. Only in the 30s in the northern part of the state, and believe it or not, most of of these temperatures are still a good 10 degrees above the average high for this time in december. So even though it felt colder and you had to bring out the winter jacket again, it certainly could be worse for even this time. So how are we doing so far this decembers . We have a little ways to go, were only halfway through and things can rapidly change, but this is an idea of the top five warmest decembers. So far our average temperature, 39. 6 degrees. The record if this was the 31st. But we do have a ways to go. The warmest december was a long while ago, 1891. When the average temperature was 35. 4 degrees. So well see what ends up happening, still some time to go. And you know Mother Nature likes to balance things out, but still looks like it will be mild as we push into christmas week next week. Here are the temperatures right now. We have fallen into the 20s up north, 30s across much of the rest of the state, still hanging onto that 40degree reading in nashua. There is some clearing, especially in central and southern New Hampshire, up to tougher. But as we go through the overnight, the clouds will win the battle and start to invade as the storm system approaches, and as it approaches, it arrives during the dawn hours tomorrow morning, right when were usually the coldest. With that said, with the temperatures being cold enough and below freezing in these Northern Areas, there could be freezing rain, so northern grafton county, northern carroll need to be very careful driving around tomorrow morning, driving into work, because there will be slick spots, especially the secondary roads, the bridges, the overpasses, those tend to be the most slick. Low pressure right in the Great Lakes Region here is going to push in more clouds and the rainfall. But it will be falling in the form of rain once it arrives. Other than that freezing rain for a time tomorrow morning. So as we go through the overnight, clouds increase and this cold front approaches, and you can see tomorrow morning we start out with probably a little bit of drizzle. Its very similar to mondays forecast, if you remember that, cloudy, foggy, and as you push influence the day gets worse and worse, and yes for the evening commute tomorrow night, it will be slow going with low visibility and heavier rain. Then this whole system pulls out and much colder air goes in its place. So tonight cloudy skies, freezing rain possible up north. It will be chilly, in the 20s up north, 30s across the rest of the state and looking ahead thursday again, starts out slick, especially in the northern reaches of the state, for the rest of us its just drizzle. By noontime drizzle, showers, cool, temperatures in the upper 30s, close to 40. Then some colder air arrives. There might even be a few flurries for us, even in southern New Hampshire over the weekend, it just doesnt stick around. Christmas week looks mild again. Jean thanks. Josh a lot of travelers this Holiday Season will be accompanied by older loved ones. Jean the extra care need forward those travelers can be a challenge, so doctors are offering tips. First, schedule a doctors visit before the trip to discuss any concerns. Some people may prefer nonstop flights, but others may want layovers so you dont have to sit too long without a break. Double check that you have any medicines that you might need on hand and carry plenty of snacks and particularly for people who may be deal with dementia, bring along some familiar items to help them feel more comfortable when you get to your destination.
