6:16 pm
this, if you like milder weather as we come to the weekend. win coming in out of the south now, but that win is going to shift tomorrow and there's going to be a big shift in the weather as we work into the weekend. a few clouds straddling across the northern most sections of new hampshire in coos county, most of the showers associated with these clouds are staying in canada. however, off to the north and west we do have another strip of clouds and showers, these are the once that will be moving through overnight tonight, but mainly during the morning hours tomorrow. after that rolls on through though, there's still a lot of left over showers thanks to cold air. water spouts across the great lakes. we won't see that here, but because of the very cold air moving in over the milder water. how cold is this air? it's in the 20's today. in parts of central areas of ontario and northern quebec. starting with tonight, we're mild, at least for mid-october standards, in the 40's. rain showers primarily north and
6:17 pm
west. over. clouds mostly moving in by dawn. let's break it down for you, our temperatures as mild as 47 along the seacoast. most of us in the 40's and again most of the showers across vermont, although some will sneak across the border into our own northern and western areas of new hampshire by the wee hours of the morning. for the day tomorrow, rain up north in the morning will taper off to just leftover showers in the afternoon. there will be some sun south. highs a little deceiving because we'll get into the upper 40's to near 50 north and the rest of us in the 50's and lower 60's. you're saying that's the same as today, right? not really because that's going to happen in the morning, then temperatures fall through the 50's during the afternoon with a blustery west northwesterly breeze. and they keep falling. we drop into the 30's by friday night as those showers work away. but on saturday, rain and snow in the north country and the white mountains, accumulation not so much. i think we might get a coating
6:18 pm
terrain, but our highs only in the 40's and 50's and it keeps dropping from there. if the kill frost doesn't end the growing season for you on sunday morning, it certainly will by monday morning because we'll only be in the low to mid 20's and highs even with sunshine on sunday, only in the 40's south, 30's north. we do recover, so that by the middle of next week we'll be back into the 60's to near 70. so just enjoy a little preview of winter. jean: a little taste, all right, thanks, chris. jamie: u.n.h. hockey team ready for a showdown against the top 20 team tomorrow night, it is a good test. we need to disrupt the old order in washington, dc.
