that is because the air above us is warmer than the air near the ground. berlin is at 37. the problem is the sun is so very, very weak at this time of year, the lowest level of the ground without appreciable wind, just cannot get that fog out, and that is why our temperatures are five to 10 degrees colder than expected. i have to temper expectations, although some folks could be at 60. this will bring showers to the north country -- rain showers. it' s just the way this year has gone. tomorrow morning, that scoots out and allows milder air to push and. windier tomorrow and even overnight tonight. i don' t think the fog will be as thick as it has been. there is that warmer weather. if we could a good southwesterly

be even warmer than i am forecasting tomorrow. then we are in between. seasonably cold air to the north, unseasonably cold air to the south, and it will be draped across new hampshire. mild air, clearing. not as thick as it has been in nights passed. low temperatures -- i mean, this is pretty close to where average high' s should be this time of year. lows are only dropping in the 30' s to around 40 degrees. for the day tomorrow, not bright and sunny, but there will be some son. could be a sprinkle. quite mild. temperatures will be in the 50' s. clouds will take most of the day to clear out up north. our best shot to reach 60, the monadnock region. the system will try to move back in from northern new hampshire and maine. northeastern areas of the granite state, 40' s junior 50. southern areas, closer to the upper 50' s, near 60.

the brighter of the two weekend days, for what it is worth, will be tomorrow, saturday. then there is still no significant cold air insight. we are still in the 50' s monday. we get a pretty good shot at rain monday night. we will be back into the 40' s which is still above normal for tuesday and wednesday. a nice bright day for wednesday. thursday into friday, another storm, but once again, folks, this looks like a rainstorm. i was teasing a white christmas before. right now there is a chance of a storm on christmas day or close to it. of course, extended forecasts are more tennessee than reality, so it could be bright and sunny.
