capable of producing six-plus inches of snow and it could be occurring or imminent or has a high probability of happening. an advisory is issued when there are less serious conditions that are occurring or imminent that could cause an inconvenience or could be travel-dangerous. that is the this week' s "what the winter weather." send your questions. i' m hayley lapoint. erin: i feel it we are always asking the difference. kevin: you go through four different seasons and each has its own issues and nuances. when you have these advisories issued, it is kind of up to us to continue to describe it to folks. sean: refresh our brains. it helps. kevin: temperatures have dipped back into the teens in the

i temperatures ranging from the upper 30' s to lower 40' s to high 40' s. a very light breeze today. that makes it feel all of those low and mid 40' s. temperatures will fall off later this evening. the air mass continues to moderate from the arctic air that has been overhead the last few days. a southerly breeze tomorrow. temperatures will be back in the 40' s to lower half of the 50' s. temperatures could be lower 60' s in some spots. this front approaches late in the day on friday. i think there will be the risk

of a passing shower, but a lot of this will be dying out as it makes its way in. we could switch over to mixed showers early saturday morning. a pretty good weekend to be traveling around even on the busy travel day coming home on sunday. looking at high temperatures ramping up, eventually peaking on friday with quite a few more clouds and breeze out of the west. we fall back off closer to the averages for this time of year for the weekend with clearing skies early saturday morning and mostly sunny skies to start off next week. tuesday and wednesday, there could be rain shower activity. sean: a unique benefit is taking place on the seacoast tonight. local emcees are putting on a hip-hop food drive that will benefit the new hampshire food bank. they will host a concert from
