mount washington, yeah, it's cold enough upstairs to support snow, but we have to get the valley temperatures well below where they are right now, and indeed they'll start to fall tonight, as showers and a weak disturbance moves in from the north and west. notice right now it's cold enough for rain to change over to snow showers around north bay and that moves on in across northern new hampshire by early tomorrow morning. highs tomorrow, much lower than today, only low 40's north to low 50's on average in a good part of southeastern new hampshire. but believe it or not even colder as we go into sunday. we'll look at that and when the cold will move back out for warmer air, in a few minutes. tom: new details tonight, search crews that had been looking for a missing hiker found a body in the gale river. the person they found looks like claire marie cocuzzo, but has not been positively identified yet. the 64-year-old didn't make it home to massachusetts after a week long hike in the white mountains. wmur's heather hamel reports

dates she planned to hike caused the search to be delayed. reporter: claire cocuzzo always takes a two-week vacation in the fall, but her family thought she was going to hike the second week and that wasn't the case. >> it doesn't lend a positive note to the search. reporter: it wasn't until after columbus day that her family realized she hadn't made it out of the white mountains, nearly two weeks after she may have run into trouble. >> the family thought she'd come up during the second week, when in actuality she was will the first week of her vacation. reporter: fish and game was contacted wednesday, the same day her care was found near the garfield trail head. a ground search began and it was stepped up friday. by mid afternoon the medical examiner was brought in and taken into the mountains by atv. they found a body in the river that met the description of of claire marie cocuzzo. >> it's only speculation at this point, but i'm led to believe

she would have spent the night of the 29th and departed on the 30th during the heavy rain. reporter: the area got more than two and a half inches of rain overnight and the gale river was really flowing at that point. >> any river crossing in that amount of water would have been dangerous. report her family says she planned on doing about four to five miles a day, going from garfield to bond cliff and back, a long trek that wasn't out of character for her. >> i considered her a very experienced hiker. reporter: claire marie's neighbor in her apartment building says they often talked about the trails. >> oh, god. she always looked forward to it, it was really that was her life more than anything. reporter: by noontime her family had been notified as well. >> as the days wore on, obviously, the last couple and they realized the amount of time that she'd been out beyond her intended time, i think they probably knew the outcome. hear. reporter: despite the fact that

it was such a busy columbus day weekend in the white mountains, fish and game says that the body just wasn't visible from the trail. heather hamel, wmur news 9. jennifer: hillary clinton is back here in new hampshire today, her first visit since tuesday night's democratic debate. supporters tell us there's a renewed sense of excitement around the campaign following her performance against the other candidates. adam sexton begins our commitment 2016 coverage. reporter: definitely more excitement than push the room when hillary clinton was introduced this afternoon. the former secretary of state held a town hall style meeting at keene state college. the theme was gun violence, but clinton fielded more than a dozen questions on everything ranging from student death to nongmo foods to a looming national shortage of nurses. this was clinton's third visit to keene since the beginning of her campaign and one regional issue did come up, the northeast energy direct natural gas pipeline. she says the federal energy egg

process needs to be reformed. >> the concerns that residents have expressed about ferc really are legitimate, because the process that ferc is employing does not give enough weight to public opinion in the locations where pipelines are going through. reporter: one person you usually see with secretary clinton on the campaign trail, her trusted aid and advisor was not with the candidate today, she was back in washington testifying before the benghazi committee, that's where secretary clinton will be next week. adam sexton, wmur news 9. jennifer: and it's a statistical dead heat in new hampshire between hillary clinton and bernie sanders. this is according to a new suffolk university boston globe poll about the democratic presidential race. 37% of likely granite state democratic primary voters favor clinton. 35% support sanders. also of note here, 50% of the people polled say that vice president joe biden, who of

tie, lindsey graham, jim owz huckabee. mike huk aabbee did take part in our candidate cafe series at the airport diner, talking with voters about everything from music to marriage. josh mcelveen was there. >> there's a whole room full of people back here oh, my gosh, i think i'm sitting here with with with you. reporter: pulling up a chair the first question for huckabee wasn't about the job he wants but the job e had. cable tv talk show host. >> just had had some terrific experiences getting to meet people that i never would have met otherwise. and then as a musician getting to play with some artists i never thought i would meet much less play music with, everyone from lynn erd skin erd to deaf leopard and toby keith. josh: he state breaks out the guitar every chance he gets. but at brunch he remembered his

first, a gift from his parents from a j. c. penney catalog. >> a whole rig, the guitar, the amplifier and everything, was $99. and it took them a full year to pay for it. they paid a little bit each month to pay for it. age 11. and i was so excited, played that thing until my fingers nearly bled. reporter: it's been eight years since his last presidential run. that's despite his wife's encouragement. >> she later said something to me that in 41 years of marriage she's rarely ever said, after the election, because i told her i said here's why i'm not going to do it and here's what i think is going to happen, and when it did she said to me you're right. and i didn't hear that ever before, and probably never again after all these years of marriage. reporter: this is also a rare trip to new hampshire for huckabee, the first since april. >> i love new hampshire. i wish new hampshire loved me as much.

reporter: but like any musician, tour dates can change depending on demand from the audience. tom: a few candidates will campaign in new hampshire tomorrow. texas senator ted cruz has two events planned in contoocook. kentucky senator rand paul will also be in contoocook as well as hooksett and ashland. former maryland governor o'malley will visit laconia, manchester, hooksett and nashua. jennifer: nine years ago tonight manchester police officer michael briggs answered his last call. he and his partner responded to a domestic disturbance and gunfire broke out. briggs was shot in the head, he died the next day. his killer is now new hampshire's only death row inmate. briggs had served on the manchester force for five years. tom: still to come at 6:00 tonight a popular market in sunapee was set to reopen to customers today, but one more hurdle won't stop the owners of jake's market. jennifer: plus new hampshire native james foley would have turned 41 this weekend, the

if you can attend, you can also -- if you can't attend, you can participate virtually. cold in the higher elevations and maybe a little snow. mike: yes, we're working towards a very chilly weekend. the november feel will be in the air and where could we see the

people want change, they want reform, 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

jennifer: a new era begins tonight for the manchester monarchs, the team has the same name but they're now in the echl. tom: jason king is at the verizon wireless arena in manchester where the team hosts their home opener in less than an hour from now. jason? reporter: that's right. we're live here for a new era, gone. the echl is here. the 15th season of professional hockey here, though at the verizon wireless arena. the new head coach richard sealy, first question, are you nervous? today. we've had a good week and a half of preparation now. the guys look good. so usedly enough i'm at peace right now. reporter: you had a good playing

career with the monarchs, what's it like to be back as a coach? >> it's a big honor, to continue the tradition going forward. it's a little different but i'm enjoying it so far. reporter: so camp was pretty quick for you guys, you had a couple preseason games. are you ready? >> yes, we are. we still have a ways to go to where we ultimately want to be and that will take time, but from where we're starting, i'm excited with the progression. reporter: should be a good crowd here, 7,000 people or more. >> i think we'll see an up tempo game, guys will be competing every shift. we have a good skill set so i'm looking for us to get the puck out of their zone and claim our zone as much as possible. i think you'll see a lot of everything, to be honest. reporter: all right, good luck.

so the brampton beasts are in town. highlights tonight. mike: we'll start you off out at the coast where you can see some of the fine fall color there in market square, time lapse from sunup to sundown. and showing that we did have bright skies a good part of the day after a couple of showers that moved through during the morning. in terms of fall color, peak conditions right now the many parts of new hampshire. kind of odd to have it happening and popping all over the state at the same time. but i think that's what happens when you have a very warm abnormally warm september and you get cool all of a sudden. right now we're at peak. a few spots in the great north woods slightly past peak. and very close to it the next few days we'll see peak conditions from manchester and over towards the coast. but a lot of fine color out there, even where it's not peak just yet. what's also peaking, coldest air our direction. as it moves in from the north and west there are some rain

but notice on radar after a dry evening and first half of the overnight, scattered rain showers approach, at the same time cold air punches in from the north and west. and that will change any rain snow. right now 40's north, generally in the 50's elsewhere, some upper 40's in a good part of the monadnock region. heading to a friday night football game, 15 on the schedule, on average in southern new hampshire in the next couple hours lower 50's, and upper 40's near half time and on your way home low to mid 40's. so bundle up, but a pleasant evening, certainly classic fall weather statewide. overnight a winter chill, mid 30's north. but nothing compared to the cold air that's building in for the weekend. temperatures tomorrow, several degrees lower than today. and yes, scattered rain mixed in snow showers will hit the great north woods, a slight chance of a few sprinkles elsewhere in new hampshire. but a good part of your saturday will be rain-free.

again a different story with mixed showers all day long up north. as we advance into the evening, winds will begin to diminish, skies will clear and temperatures will fall, sub freezing in just about all spots, that means an end to the growing season in many areas north and west of the coast, and even at the coast later sunday night as it turns much colder. in terms of light snow accumulation there you have it, a coating or inch or two in the great north woods and heart of the white mountains. clearly the higher amounts will be in the higher terrain. the presidentials could see three or four inches of snow by early saturday evening. the highs tomorrow, low 40's north, lower 50's south. but even colder on sunday, mid 30's will do it up north to mid 40's in southern new hampshire. and later on sunday night, temperatures crash boo the teens and 20's statewide. so if you've been one of these hardy new englanders that keep away from using the heat, and

they'll do it again tonight. tomorrow night may be a struggle. i think everyone will finally give in later sunday night into early monday. look at theover night low the southern new hampshire. then after a cool monday, temperatures bounce right back to average. a good part of next week. tom: cold is all relative, right? jennifer: bundle up for football tonight. jamie: we're live at pinkerton academy, these astros cheerleaders will perform for us when we come back from the commercial break, we're also
