shades of green and yellows and oranges. a slow go of it this evening on the roads because of the rain. 57 degrees in concord, 52 laconia, raw in plymouth at 48. but warmer in the southern part of the state, manchester, nashua in the low 60's. once we're over and done with this miserable weather we break out of the sun starting today morning and then temperatures will start to warm up too. we'll start on a cool note on saturday tomorrow with temperatures in the fifth. you see the 70 on monday, that will feel nice. i'll have the full weekend forecast in a few minutes. shelley: thanks. the columbus okay weekend is drawing thousands of visitors to see new england's foliage. things are already getting crowded out there, there's 93 through windham, and 293 north in manchester. downtown manchester actually is what we're looking at right now and it's starting to pick up there.

keller, that can be more potent than heroin, looks so similar to the street drug it takes a series of tests before they know for sure, which the lab director says highlights the risks that users are taking. >> there is no quality control among drug dealers and users. they don't know what they're getting from pack tote packet, could be different purity from one week to the next. >> a new $60,000 state grant will allow for more overtime at the lab and also includes money for a criminalist, but the director says it may not be enough to get through this ever growing backlog. heather hamel, wmur news 9. josh: a first snapshot. the upcoming u.s. senate race at a manchester summit today. senator ayotte and governor hassan were together at a manufacturing and technology event. ray brewer was there. reporter: there were none of the posters or political signs, but everyone in the room was very aware of the under current, that these two women could soon be

fiscally responsible bipartisan compromise on the budget that includes business tax cuts while providing important safeguards that protect our ability to support critical priorities in future budgets. >> i've been ranked as 7th most bipartisan senator by independent groups because i work across the aisle to get things done for people in new hampshire. reporter: ayotte says she's not surprised by hassan's decision to run, saying hassan was recruited by washington democrats like harry reid and that hassan's decision was more about national politics than this is about new hampshire. in the studio, ray brewer, wmur news 9. shelley: a chaotic day on capitol hill where several republican names have surfaced to be the next speaker of the house. but right now one favorite is saying he's not interested. reporter: house researches are trying to convince a reluctant paul ryan to run for house speaker. >> paul is looking at it but it's his decision.

they don't want to be seen apparently as snitches. shelley: families of the people killed in last week's oregon shooting will meet with president obama today, the president arrived in oregon a couple hours ago. but as aixa diaz reports from our washington bureau, he was also met by some protesters. reporter: gun rights supporters were there to protest president obama's visit to roseburg, oregon. they say the president is politicizing last week's tragedy by calling on tougher gun laws following that mass shooting, and protesters held signs as the president drove to the airport and once he wrapped up that meeting drove back, those signs read go home. another one says chicago needs you, we do not. a gunman killed nine people last week and injured nine others at umpqua community college, and president obama today met privately with some of the survivors, and some of the families of those victims killed last week. he briefly spoke with the

families and also the governor there but did not make any public remarks while he was in oregon about gun control. shelley: thank you. a red cross volunteer from new hampshire will spend the next two weeks helping south carolina communities hit by dangerous floods. shannon left the granite state last night, she'll join more than 500 other volunteers from the red cross. her work will focus on raising relief money. homeland security secretary johnson is also in the cares today to see recovery efforts firsthand. record rain last weekend flooded south carolina, washing out several dams and bridges. thousands of people are still without power or water and now people living downstream of the worst hit areas are bracing for the water surge created by the storm. there is more rain in the forecast for this weekend. josh: today marks a full deck a since an unprecedented flood swept through alstead and tonight the town is preparing a

who lost their lives and as a tribute to the heroes from that day. jean mackin was also in alstead 10 years ago and she's back there tonight. reporter: josh, 10 years ago i was standing right here on this spot by the bridge over the cold river, and what a difference a completely different. on that day, the day the wall of water swept through al spelled there was debris everywhere, homes and cars and trees, and four lives lost here, on this anniversary. the people of alstead want to remember those lives and how they rebuilt from catastrophe. a remarkable display is open department. the historical society documents documents the path of a 30-foot wall of water. the path that wall of water took with the hill holding it back above town gave way. people can come see the photographs, the document, the disaster, along with things like

and this brings back a lot of memories. >> we overcame it, and we stood tall and with the help of a great many other people we couldn't have possibly done it without the help of many friends and many parts of the country. but nonetheless it was a strong granite state resilience, you know, we're built on granite here. fire station will be open through 7:00 tonight, 10:00 to 4:00 tomorrow. at 4:15 tomorrow a plaque will be dedicated, it's covered now, but it sits on this white rock by the bridge and honors the lives lost and the resilient spirit of this town on that day and 10 years later today. i should add that everyone that we talked to has commented that it has rained all day long in alstead and they find that somehow very appropriate for

live in alstead, jean mackin, wmur news 9. hayley: thankfully it has has mainly been a very light rain. couple of downpours moving across the state, but nothing like what we saw 10 years ago, thank goodness. right now across the area, this is a live look on some web caps across the state, beautiful foliage on that camera up in the north country which is in littleton. you can see the oranges and reds, despite the cloud cover and the dreary weather. temperatures are much cooler up in the northern and central part of the state, in the 50's. while in the southern part of the state temperatures are in the 60's, a little more mild at the seacoast at 61, with rain still falling there in portsmouth. check out berlin, only 47 degrees today. that is some raw air. temperatures mainly up to the north of concord and laconia

these were highs, plymouth 48. we got to 62 in manchester, 66 in nashua. so a huge difference from north to south today. in terms of the temperatures. now we're at 63 in nashua, 62 in manchester much cooler northward. 52 in laconia. 51 degrees in whitefield right now. here's the latest on the radar. we do have some heavier bands of rain still passing through, especially in the monadnock region, and just about to get into places like concord and manchester. also some light to moderate rain in the lakes region, couple areas where you see the yell are and orange colors to the north of sandwich and north of lake winnipesaukee moving through, might be a couple showers picking up in intensity in conway and freedom in the next half-hour or so. there's the monadnock region where it pouring in hillsboro and into milford. all this headed toward manchester and concord, so you'll probably notice if you're

heading out right now that it will probably be pouring in the next few minutes. light to moderate rainfall along 93 from the mass border up into concord. so it will be slow going on the roads this evening if you do have plans to head out. this is a cold front that's marching across the area, and look at this, it extends all the way down through the ohio river valley and back into oklahoma and texas. all the same line of showers moving through. behind this line some much cooler air, in fact temperatures tomorrow statewide will not crack 60 degrees, so it's going to feel like a real cool almost raw october day tomorrow. but the good thing is we'll get the sunshine back. so here's the timing of the showers. they should be continuing off and on through the rest of the evening but definitely tapering off and becoming more isolated after 8:00 tonight. then after midnight they all just fizzle away. same thing with the clouds too. maybe some lingering clouds in the morning on saturday. but then looks like we're back

the 50's. so kind of cool. sunday we'll have passing clouds, particularly in the morning, but then we're back to full sunshine and this is when we'll start to notice the temperatures warming up more. sunday and into monday, upper 60's, close to 70 degrees. kind of a miserable night for football, with temperatures in the 50's and falling into the low 50's, by the end of the games, it's going to be chilly and a little wet for some of these games. here's your saturday forecast, in the 50's statewide with mostly sunny skies, definitely cool. and a northwest breeze kicking up. some improvement temperature wise by sunday and monday, near 70 on monday. then a few showers in the forecast as we look at next week. awesome weather for apple picking, foliage. doesn't get much better than this, after the rain today. josh: right, good stuff, thanks, haley. shelley: up next bill cosby giving a deposition today answering questions on the record about allegations of

within the statute of limitations. >> i would like to see justice for all of us. reporter: this isn't cosby's first deposition. in documents released from a 2005 civil lawsuit, cosby admitted to obtaining okay -- qualudes to give to women. that was settled out. court. malcolm warner who played his son on the cosby show says the allegations have tarnished the hit series' legacy. cosby's deposition location is being kept secret and the content will be sealed until at least december. that's when the judge will decide if any of it will be made public. josh: we've learned the cause of a dangerous derailment during a blizzard last year. shelley: investigators say it should have been caught at least twice before the accident. josh: don't try this yourself, at least unless you want to find yourself in hot water with police. shelley: now to our u local hot shot. this boater ventured out in the

early morning fog at turkey pond and that is beautiful. and of course you can submit your pictures and video by logging onto u local.wmur.com. people want change, they want reform, they want to see something done, but just carping about it and whining about it and making speeches about it doesn't get it done. nobody has shaken up the system more than i have. i've always been unorthodox in this and against the grain. but you know what? i know how to get it done. new day independent media committee, inc. is responsible for the content

hayley: we've had some heavy downpours today and these showers move out in time for the weekend, which is good. cooler. josh: some presidential candidates are moving to a new strategy to win new hampshire. they're digging in and staying longer. shelley: the vermont train route shut down by a derailment is back on track. now the state has a new effort under way to me vent the kind of rockslides that caused that crash. >> we used the swiss army knife home town solution and it was quite effective. josh: 10 years after a deadly flood in alstead we're hearing from people who dealt with the devastation, including one man still haunted by what he was asked to do. it was a soggy end to the work week, but these rain drops should clear up by the time most

weekend and the visitors begin to arrive. i'm josh mcelveen. shelley: i'm shelley walcott. some of those visitors are already arriving. take a look outside right now, things are pretty crowded on 93 coming up from massachusetts. but by the time we wake up tomorrow, obviously the roads will be clear and the sun hopefully will be out. meteorologist hayley lapoint says clouds should give way to sunshine, right? hayley: indeed they will, that's the good news. the miserable weather we have going on now is going to come to an end, but this even if you have man's to head out, be prepared. it's slow going on the roads and a lot of that is because of the rain. downpours through southern new hampshire, and anywhere you see the yellow colors or orange, those are pockets of heavy rain. this is all headed toward the greater manchester and concord areas, so the rain about to pick up in a big way there. francis town into milford, hillsboro, it's been pouring the last 15 to 20 minutes and all that is tracking toward the east.

we've got a couple more hours here with rainfall. 57 in concord, 52 laconia, it is really raw in the northern part of the state. and nashua. the clouds and showers move out overnight tonight, and we've got some bright weather for saturday, though temperatures as you see there look cool, only in the 50's. how about the rest of the holiday weekend forecast, i'll break down the full forecast for you, ahead. josh: commitment 2016 now, if the educated guess holds, we are exactly four months away from the new hampshire primary. for many candidates the ticking clock brings with it a sense of urgency who are either counting on or flat out need a strong showing in the first in the nation. >> the last time i qualified was in afghanistan. reporter: if only being a good shot was part of the equation. lindsey graham just might be a frontrunner.

senator is at the star of a 10-day swing through new hampshire. >> the way forward for me is pretty simple. i've got to make the case that of all the people running i'm best prepared to be commander in chief. people in new hampshire, realize that your choice for president is going to set in motion viable candidacies and you're going to end others. keep me in the mix. reporter: ohio governor john kasich is trying to keep his momentum rolling with a four-day bus tour of he packed the house for a town hall in stratham and told us next week he'll pull back the curtain on a major policy initiative. >> it will be recomprehensive, energy, trade. reporter: but he believes a plan is one of only three things needed to win. >> two is vision and three is

personality, i think that's how we elect people and i think if we're going to compare one health care plan to another, i don't buy that. reporter: chris christie just wrapped up a trip, and george pataki is in the mid of moving most of his campaign to new hampshire for the home stretch. mike huckabee will be returning next week, but this is his first visit since april. and rick santorum is putting greater emphasis in iowa. several candidates made stops at the republican liberty conscious convention in nashua, cruz, gilmore and paul all were in attendance. while the candidates continue to compete for the job at the white house, new poll numbers show granite staters are split it on how the current president is performing. our poll shows that 47% of new hampshire adults approve of the job president obama is doing, 48% disapprove, 5% don't have an opinion. those numbers are pretty much

the same as they were in july. when it comes to people's outlook of where the country is headed, granite staters are more pessimistic. 55% think that things are seriously off track, 9% haven't made up their minds. shelley: investigators want to tour a sister ship of the vessel that disappeared during hurricane joaquin. the search for the el faro was called off this week, former crew members said the ship had expleeks that its drainage system wasn't working well. the company that owned the el faro and the coast guard say the ship met all safety standards. the vermonter is now back in service. amtrak suspended the route after a derailment in north field vermont when the train hit a rockslide. for the last few days it has been busing passengers to stations where they could connect the trains. seven people were hurt in that derailment. they have all been released from the hospital. this week vermont announced a

areas off designated roads that rockslides. josh: a broken rail is being blamed for a derayment in february. a crack in the rail was missed twice during inspections. 27 train cars full of crude oil tumbled off the tracks during a snowstorm. one person was injured, fortunately no one was killed. shelley: 10 years ago today a alstead. for the people on the front lines there was an extra challenge, several of them spoke with wmur's jennifer vaughn about that added pressure. she's here now with more on what they were facing. reporter: well, this was an unprecedented disaster for al spelled, difficult enough on its own but even more so when the people in peril are your neighbors and friends. the danger was imminent, no time to waste. >> i came through town and put the cruiser on the opposite side of the bridge here, and told

people that the wall of water was coming. reporter: the water took so much including telephone poles. alstead went dark. >> we had mutual aid radios but they weren't for public use, and there's 2,000 people in this town, they all had relatives that live somewhere else and all of them her about in flood and they want him. report he spent that sunday working, his orders were haunting as people went missing. >> told me to look for a hand among the debris stream, or an arm, elbow, leg or toe. just the idea of that, you know, sort of cut me very deeply. we did not find anybody in the debris that day. and i'm certainly very glad of that. reporter: it would take a village to survive, so the village got to work. >> rather than having another meeting or trying to convince the national guard to bring a

concord, we used the homestead swiss army knife home town solution and it was effective reporter: then another wave hit, this one bringing comfort and support. >> i counted 57 different towns, as just by watching the different pieces of equipment that had town names stenciled on them. it was grit to think that this could happen and that the word could get out and the help would come unasked. reporter: there are so many stories of heroism from that fall of 2005 and the generosity that helped residents reed by. can you find even more on how al spelled rose above on wmur.com. josh: there's much more head at 5:30 including a big price hike for a popular phone plan. we'll tell you which customers will have to take another look at their budget. shelley: could uber keep people

from buying their own cars? some say they are already parsing on a new vehicle. josh: many people are boobing holiday tick thet week, but there's one thing people forget to put on their packing list. hayley: a cold front tracking across the area, and behind it much cooler air. temperatures tomorrow may be the

in a long while. shelley: an up day on wall street. the dow jones up 33 points, the s&p 500 and the nasdaq also in positive territory today. well, you can now call for uber in durham. josh: the ride sharing company announced its expansion into that town this week, it already operates in several spots in new hampshire although there's been controversy overrules for portsmouth. but uber's popular could be hurting car sales. 22% people in a new survey say they'll probably hold off on buying a new vehicle because they're using uber instead. the company's c.e.o. says he hopes to make car ownership obsolete. it's even launched a new partnership with carnegie melon university to develop self driving cars, meaning its own drivers would be out of a job.

and investigators' unlimited data plan will soon cost you a little more. next month people who were grandfathered into that plan will have to shell out an extra 20 bucks a month. verizon dropped the unlimited options years ago, but people had had them before 2011 were allowed to keep them. they still have that option, once again, it will cost you $20 more. shelley: a popular ingredient in many hand and face scrubs is now illegal in california. josh: how much time companies have to get rid of micro beads or have their product pulled off the shelves. >> we'll get you ready for football coming up. shelley: and this holiday weekend will be a freight time to visit pumpkin patches. tt2watv#`8d bt@q(^p

thousand island dressing. enjoy one while they're here! subway. eat fresh. josh: micro beads will soon be illegal in california. shelley: the governor signed a law requiring companies to phase them out by 2020, the tiny beads are found in many toiletries. they slip through water filtration systems and are threatening fish and wildlife. the new trend in beads -- in beef is meat from cows that have been fed omega 3. they can reduce the risk of

ranchers are adding things like flax seeds to their animals' food and touting the benefits. some texas stores selling that fortified meat say orders have quadrupled in the last year. if you're traveling for the holidays there's one step that could keep you and your companion healthy. josh: dr. timothy johnson explains. reporter: new people, new places, new experiences, it's what international travel is all about. but along with such travel comes new risks, including exposures to diseases not commonly found in the u.s. and now infect shuz disease experts are warning travelers to get immunized before traveling or they could come home with more than seufer ins. the warnings come out of a major infectious disease meeting in san diego. research finds that outbreaks at home are often tied to people who have been exposed overseas, for example, one study reveals how americans returning from

spring break in mexico may have started a hepatitis a outbreak in april, all 26 travelers had not been previously vaccinated. getting your shots is a simple proposition. yet too many travelers still don't do it. so before you board that plane, see your doctor to learn what shots you should get and get them. and then you can rest assured the travel stories will be all that you will be sharing from your vacation. with this medical minute, i'm dr. timothy johnson. hayley: a dreary start to the holiday weekend. the good news is the rain is on the way out, it's moving to the east and should be over and done with within the next couple hours. in derry we have the rain coming down at a good rate, and also in manchester picking up at this point. weirs beach light to moderate rainfall up there, but it is

clouds and the cool temperatures up there. so a dreary raw night with temperatures that are going to fall into the 40's and even a few 30's in the northern part of the state, will be tough for the friday night football games going on or even if you're heading outdoors briefly to go to a restaurant or movie, you'll want the rain gear for the next couple hours or so. back to sunshine this weekend. things are looking good once we get beyond this rain tonight, and a couple of temperature swings will be happening over the next couple days. tomorrow will be cool, but the whole weekend won't be that way. here's the temperatures now. 52 -- 62 in manchester, 63 in nashua. we under the 50's in laconia and concord. 40's in plymouth and way up north. that's cool stuff, feels very raw. 59 degrees in rochester, only 61 in portsmouth. it's cool region wide with the clouds and showers moving through.

day and even into sunday. a few passing clouds in the morning sunday, but then we're back to sunshine. good looking weekend for anything that you may have planned outdoors, including checking out the foliage. here's your forecast for tonight. damp and raw, the showers will taper off. a big event going on in milford, the pumpkin festival tonight, they're supposed to have fireworks, but the temperatures in the 50's and this rain not sure if that will go. fall foliage at peak the the northern part of the state. but no matter where you go you're going to see beautiful colors, up near 70 on monday, more showers in the forecast beyond that though. >> time for sports and it's a huge weekend in milford. haley just talked about it, the 26th annual pumpkin fest drawing about 35,000 people to the center of town, the pumpkin festival shares the stage in milford with friday night football. and we can update what haley talked about, those fireworks are postponed until tomorrow. all the more reason to come over
