The time lapse photos at the coast today, deep blue skies and start the day, seasonably so, nice recovery back into the upper 30s and lower 40s in many spots. Heres the almanac data for concord today. Notice the official high coming in 10 above the average. Even though it was chilly, thats nowhere close to the record low on this date in 1904. The earliest sunset we had ended december 15th at 4 11, now close to 5 00 in the afternoon. Nice to see the Daylight Hours of course stretching out as we go further into the winter season. Few clouds and a couple of isolated flurries drifting through the great north woods and parts of the White Mountains. Give it a 5 or 10 shot of a flurry up north for tonight. During tomorrow the forecast does get a little bit more interesting, because were not going to see a lot of precipitation. But is there a strong upper level disturbance back in the great lakes and a lot of mayor off shore of the carolinas. Create quite a big storm off shore and far enough away from New Hampshire so we dont get much in the way of precipitation. Having said that, tomorrow morning boo the early afternoon a little piece of energy from this storm will get drawn back in as this disturbance races in our direction and could trigger some snow showers. So flakes in some parts of the state tomorrow, not a big accumulation though. 30s across the board, about six, seven, eight degrees above the norm for this time of year. Teens north by morning. 20s south. Well above the average and thats courtesy of a cloud cover south. Youll notice no big cooldown back to the west. As a matter of fact, temperatures are climbing after a brief cooldown the next two days, back into the mid to upper 40s, even to 50s the parts of the northern rockies. And cant rule out a trur hitting near 50 by the early part of next week.

Back into sun early saturday before clouds race in, and there could be a few flurries up north on saturday afternoon. Beyond that temperatures climb yet again from this mild stretch. Seems like weve been dealing with mild weather on and off all winter. Weve got one tomorrow, mid to upper 30s, again best chance of snow showers will be from late morning on. Roads should be in fine shape with temperatures above freezing but cant rule out a couple of slick spots, back roads, morning on. The weekend looking pretty good, mild by sunday and maybe up near 50 early next week. Josh thanks, mike. Up next, president ial candidates jennifer then at 5 30, the thief who targeted a salem store there are many sides to basketball star an fashion icon russell westbrook. And with coverage in the middle of anywhere from u. S. Cellular, he can find some new ones. Like, farmer. Russells brussels. Russell speaking. Paleontologist. Hashtag trex. Park ranger. And t. V. Spokesperson. Thats my line. I got it. All the things you like, from the middle of anywhere. That is my line josh we asked the president ial thoughts on the federal governments role in public the federal government plays education, not only making sure that theres adequate funding, especially for the nutrition programs that are important to the learning experience for poor kids, but also the federal government in the past always played a big role in making College Affordable for american families. So in order to make college oh forwardable again, instead of saddling our kid with a mountain of debt, in order to improve Public Education, our federal government needs to step up and keep pace with the investments required in this modern economy. Its not only about holding up best practices, not only about encouraging important standards and that no child is left behind, its actually by improving educational outcomes and making college more affordable. And thats what i bend to do as president. We live in a very competitive global economy. And unless we have the best world, our economy is not going to be strong now and in the future. And that is why i believe that we must make public colleges and universities in this country tuitionfree so that all of our young people, regardless of the income of their families, will be able to get a higher education, and will also be able to lower student debt which is now a very serious problem. And i propose that we do that by imposing a tax on wall street speculation. When we cannot be effective internationally competing against countries all over the world unless we have that educated work force and thats one way to go forward. Way than to do what i can as president to really look at the research about what works and then to work with teachers and school boards, principals and parents, everybody in a community to really understand what it is that will particularly help low income, because your daughter, my daughter, my granddaughter, they come to School Pretty well prepared, and its really up to them, are they going to do the work that they need to do to be successful. A lot of kids, they dont have those advantages, and thats why i think the federal government has to do more to help prepare more kids, with Early Childhood education, universal prek. This is a necessity if were going to have any chance to close the achievement gap. We have to make College Affordable again. I think Community College should be free, it like two additional years of the education you need to have the skills to compete. And i want fouryear colleges and universities to be debtfree when it comes to tuition and help people pay down their debt. And that will save them thousands of dollars and enable them to kind of get on with their lives. Josh were going to hear from more candidates in the next halfhour.
