staffing, since march reports of possible child abuse and neglect have increased by 33%. >> one of the things we should look at with the review is case loads and how we measure them, we certainly do monitor case loads. but it's really going to be important that we get to input from people on the front lines, as well as from an expert about what that appropriate balance is. reporter: the a.g. says most likely training, how vigorously caseworkers follow up on cases and whether laws need to change will all be reviewed. >> certainly there are situations where we can work to reunify families. but the physical safety and well-being of our children is our first and most important obligation as a society and that's what we need to focus on with this review. reporter: manchester chief willard tweeted after the revow was announced saying i applaud governor hassan's strength of character and leadership, it's cheer she's committed to protecting children. the commissioner of health and human services says they support

jennifer: looking for something to do, the circus is in town this weekend. josh: the real one, the ringling brothers circus arrived in manchester today. there are performances tonight until sunday. can you see jugglers, clowns, acrobats, trap ease artists. shows are at the verizon wireless arena. ticket prices range from 15 to $70. >> i am so excited because the greatest show on earth is in town. if you look behind me we have one of our eight aerialists, she

been practicing what we call -- since she was four years old. hayley: actually not a bad weekend ahead to the circus, because when you see here in portsmouth is what we're going to get for a lot of the weekend. cloudy, dismal, and portsmouth you can see the pave mft is wet because there is some rain moving through there. not wet though at weirs beach, it just kind of cloudy and you get the gray skies. and it's also very cool. temperatures in some spots only in the 50's. you get 52 there in la cone extra and the thing is the wind have not been helping. it continues to feel cool, feels almost like a november day here with the temperatures only in the 50's for highs. cloud have been inundating the state all day long, even in the northern part of new hampshire. right now along the southern tier, that's where we do have showers moving through from

portsmouth down into seabrook, a little slow going along the 95 corridor here because of the rainfall. same thing on 101 from exeter toward raymond. in manchester only the southern part of the city getting in on some of the light rain showers, but it gets heavier if your travels take you toward derry, salem, plaistow. light to moderate rainfall continuing on there. here are the temperatures, we're stuck in the 50's, these were our highs really through the day. overnight most of us will fall back into the 40's, but it won't be quite as chilly, because the clouds will actually help us retain some of this heat from the day, although not much heat at all. winds have been strong, about 6 miles per hour. but we have had gusts stronger than that, although it doesn't look like we have had any of those across the state, but earlier we had some near 20 or 30 miles per hour. this breeze will be relentless. as we go through the weekend, even tomorrow afternoon will

likely have gusts up near 20, even 25 miles per hour. statewide. finally the winds will start to diminish a little on sunday. but it's just going to be a very breezy, cool feel over the weekend here. high pressure up toward our north and west, that's actually doing a squeeze play between the low pressure we have off the coast and that high. and in between where we are we have this wind funneling right through, and that's why the winds continue to be so strong n. the southeastern part of the u.s., all this rain you see here is going to cause historic flooding, not part of joaquin, because joaquin will move due north and take a big turn east. it was downgraded at 5:00 to a category 3 hurricane and are not affect us here in new england. national some good news. lots of clouds, maybe some drizzle or showers in the southern part of the state on saturday. you might even see some sun if you live in the northern part of the state. all of us will likely get to see a little sunshine on sunday, that will be the brighter of the

the warmest as well with upper 50's, as opposed to tomorrow where we'll be stuck in the lower 50's. for tonight, mostly cloudy skies, the winds will continue to be breezy, and the temperatures falling into the 40's. and 30's up in the northern part of the state. it is a good weekend for checking out the leaves or heading to the deerfield fair. yes, it will be cool and a bit cloudy, but not bad conditions to be outdoors, if you dress for it of course. a mix of sun and clouds on sunday, and we warm up a little bit early next week, that will actually feel nice. it's really kind of bone chilling now. jennifer: tonight, enjoy some football games, let's check in with jamie down in salem. jamie: that's right, working my way through the salem cheer
