will be heading downward, but there is another day of pretty warm temperatures out there on the way still. so that's the good news any way here in concord, everywhere else as well. these are the current temperatures now, can you see a tiny bit a downtick. but they will be heading downwaters over the next couple days, but tomorrow will still be on the warm side for this time of year. 7 of right now, tomorrow down near 70 and falling in the 60's. today, unofficially 77-degree high for today, that's well above the average, 62 degrees, but the record is 87 degrees. so obviously we came nowhere near that. lots of sunshine, but the cloud will start continue crease for a couple of reasons. not much in our immediate neighborhood, which means if

you're heading out this evening, clear and quite comfortable. but this front, along with a rotating low pressure system to its west there as well as some clouds coming up from the south, sort of converge together overnight and through the day tomorrow, we may start off with some sunshine tomorrow early in the day, but it will fade and there will be a chance of some scattered showers as we go through the day as well. overnight clear, then the clouds start to move in mostly off the ocean from that system i just pointed out. all the while some sunshine before that happens, so it may be around for a while tomorrow morning. then just scattered showers here and there off and on at any time during the day. you could see one or two passing through. plenty of usable hours during the day, and again warmer conditions for tomorrow as well. wednesday it starts to cool down, breezy if not windy, and just a spot shower or two. let's take you through it piece by piece of what to expect for the next several days. it will still be on the warm side, many places still in the 70's tomorrow. but look at those temperatures,

slowly falling each of the next several days, by the time we get to the end of the week and particularly the weekend, it's going to feel not only like fall again but cooler than average by the time we get to saturday and sunday. and take a look at the overnight lows this weekend into next week too, so get ready, enjoy it while it's still here. tom: burr it is great. jean: thanks, josh. tom: takeoff trouble for a flight out of las vegas, up next, passengers heard an explosion just before an engine caught fire. jean: and it will take days to clean up the mess left behind when rain filled a high school stadium.

this aleejant flight. passengers heard a pop or boom. the pilot aborts the takeoff, quickly stopping the plane. fire crews pouring on water as passengers inside watched. the passengers finally get downstairs to the terminal but are still unsure exactly what happened. the f.a.a. tells us the right engine caught fire on that takeoff, with no reported injuries. allegiant will only say the mishap was a mechanical issue, adding that passengers were reaccommodated on a replacement aircraft and that the airline will be conducting an investigation into the root cause of that mechanical issue. that mechanical issue, according to the f.a.a., was an engine fire which will now be

midnight when utility workers were called about the water main break at the intersection of main and pleasant streets. it's just one of many to plague salem over the last five months. since the middle of may, salem utility crews have been called to a half dozen water main breaks. not unlike other new hampshire communities, the town's under ground infrastructure is aging. >> the age of the pipes in this area are pretty odd, from the 1890's. this one here is early 60's, it's an older style pipe, cast iron pipe. reporter: while the water main breaks are a nuisance for drivers, they are also costly, not just at the town itself, but also to businesses like the tuscan market. joe says he got an early morning phone call alerting tom the situation. >> the entire street in front of the tuscan kitchen kind of caved in. the guys here in salem jump right on and it they've been working on it literally since then. and they know how important it is, it's literally in front of our front door.

reporter: in than aeffort to get ahead of the cost of the breaks, salem is conducting a study of the pipes under ground. >> the engineering study is identifying the age of the pipes, the frequency of breaks and also the road program, we're trying to look at the pipes we can replace before the road program goes in. reporter: but each pipe they take a look at will be unique, its condition a virtual unknown. >> some of the older pipes are, last a long time. reporter: and others will not. >> it's like a chess game, you don't know what the age of the pipes, a lot of them, but the integrity of the pipes under the ground is hard to predict. reporter: crews at this morning's break at main and pleasant were able to repair the pipe and had the road open to cars just in time for the lunch crowd. suzanne roantree, wmur news 9. jean: thanks. thousands of people are headed home after spending the holiday

weekend in new england. our famous foliage cooperated for the visitors, showing off bright colors, even in spots that haven't reached peak yet. beautiful in plymouth tonight, we're at 71. meteorologist josh judge says the warm weather will stick around at least for another day. josh: yes. tomorrow the weather will be warm, not quite as warm or sunny as today, but still it will be well above average. let's take a look at the current temperatures right now. amazing for this time of year and these aren't even the high temperatures, it was a couple degrees warmer in some spots an hour or two ago. look at all the sunshine we've been seeing as well, virtually no clouds until the last few minutes when a few were drifting through the white mountains. that will continue a little longer, but this is a spinning weather system to our west that is gradually going to make its way toward us. the cold front rolls through first and it also joins forces with the weather system down here and they're both converging toward us like this. so tomorrow we will see the

increase of clouds, but look at that, temperatures still above average, upper 60's in northern and parts of central new hampshire. you get into southern new hampshire, once again in the 70's tomorrow. but you know it won't last long this time of year. we'll talk about how the temperatures plummet coming up. tom: two people were hurt in a motorcycle crash in epsom this morning, police say the man was back on his feet by the time emergency crews arrived, but a woman was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. the crash closed one lane of route 28 for about 90 minutes, the cause of the crash is still under investigation tonight. a state trooper received minor injuries after his cruiser was hit on i-93 in campton. 62-year-old ka katharine d'angelo was driving erratically when she hit the cruiser, she was arrested on a charge of driving while intoxicated. the it sergeant was treated for minor injuries. jean: randy quaid is being held on a half million dollars bail tonight, quaid and his wife were arraigned this morning in vermont.

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.

tom: heavy rain in washington state turned a high school stadium into a pool. jean: it created a water fall down the steps and quickly filled the bowl of the stadium, it turns out fallen leaves covered the storm drains, meaning the water had nowhere to go. people in the neighborhood say this isn't the first time this has happened. and even no the water is now gone, it's going to take a few days to clean up all the mud left behind. tom: no games there. jean: yes. and more dramatic video, out of florida, where a water spout picked up a semi truck. tom: that truck belonged to the post office and tonight we're hearing from the driver who survived the whole thing. here's abc's ginger zee. reporter: an incredible sight, a water spout traveling on shore. watch as the swirling winds knock this tractor trailer from its side back onto all 18 wheels. the u.s. postal truck

the screen to the right there and the temperature 72 degrees right now in the monadnock region. dew point 48. and light wind out of the south. so it really was nice. here's your current temperatures all around the granite state, still in the low and mid 70's. virtually everywhere. unbelievable. if you're heading out this evening it will be very nice, at least for the evening portion of the upcoming hours. here's a look at those clear skies, heading out tonight no problems whatsoever. gradually we see the cloud infrill traiting in from the west and the southeast, we're being hit from two different directions over the next couple of days. first is this system here, with a spinning low pressure center and a cold front out in front of it. you better believe it bringing some cooler weather that gradually works its way in. also this system coming up the coast they sort of combine together and increase the clouds during the day tomorrow.

up and the chance of a couple showers, but still fairly warm, because that cold front will not have passed through until tomorrow night. here's a look at the clear skies tonight, watch the clouds from the coast come on in and there's that front to our west which moves in later on. first some showers off the ocean are possible during the morning hours, and then tomorrow afternoon and evening, showers from the system to our west roll through, maybe a downpour or two in some locations. wednesday it's breezy and it's cooler, but still some sun and clouds back and forth. a spot shower or two particularly north and west of the lakes region. thursday it cooler still, but we've got more sunshine at least on the way. so stepping downward, day by day. here's the jet stream bringing up the warm weather, that's why it's so warm today, and part of tomorrow as well. but this dip in the secret stream moving in later in the week, and it's coolest over the upcoming weekend, when it dips down over us. and then starts to pull out again, so next week not quite as

warm as today, but get is a little better. if you're heading out this evening, very nice, clear skies, quite pleasant. a very slow cooldown overnight, 55 to 65, for the evening hours, then it does chill off but only into the fowrlts most places. 30's farther to the north. there's your guide for the rest of the week, 70's again tomorrow, 60's in the northern elsewhere. so not as warm as today, not quite as nice, but still the warmer weather will be around. by the time we get to the weekend we're in the 50's on saturday with scattered showers and highs in the 40's on sunday. so that will be a different story. tom: los angeles dodger infielder chase itly is not in the starting playoff in tonight's playoff game. jean: he is eligible to play while he appeals his suspension for what the league called an illegal slide that broke the leg of the shortstop. the man being called the most
