this is the second time in a month that people living near these streets are dealing with a water main break. it happened around 3:05 this afternoon. a resident called 911 after noticing a stream of water flowing down the street. the last main break was november 14th about a month ago and it happened a couple blocks away. and it's not clear what caused either of these breaks. now, there is concern, there was concern for a time that the historic molly stark house would be seriously flooded, but manchester's fire chief tells me the damage there is minimal. >> right now we have crews working on putting baggings of speedy dry around the windows to keep the water from going into the basement. they have a little water this the basement right now which shouldn't be an issue, if they get a shop vac over there they can dispose of it. reporter: taking a look back out here live, you can see the crews are working to clean up the street out here, but it is

in this area, they've been told they may not have water again until sometime after midnight. we're live in manchester, i'm shelley walcott, wmur news 9. tom: thank you. happening right now in manchester, police searching for this armed robber who fought a clerk to get the cash from the register, the man left the store with money, but it wasn't the same outcome for the person who targeted another store in the city just hours later. wmur's adam sexton is live now with those details. reporter: still not clear if these two robberies are connected, but the first incident featured a fight that police say could have turned deadly with the knife that was involved. just before 9:00 last night in shawn's corner market in manchester a suspect barges in the door and hops the counter. the clerk tries to stop him with a right cross that appears to miss. a few more wild punches are thrown and from there it a wrestling patch that involves both parties trying to avoid the knife in the suspect's right hand. police say it's surprising no one was hurt.

thing, there's no monetary value for human life. so although this man put up a valiant effort and struggled with him, fortunately he was not harmed with the knife, which you can clearly see the assailant was armed with. it was a violent struggle, and fortunately nobody was injured. reporter: the suspect got away with an undisclosed amount of cash, but at one point you can see the mask slips and the face of this robber is exposed. a few hours later just to the west at the 7 than 11 on queen city avenue, police say a suspect in a black jacket and black hoodie walk through the door demanding cash. the clerk in this case managed to get behind the locked door and hide. >> she did the proper thing, she locked herself in the closet, called 911 and we showed up. reporter: the attempted robber escaped empty handed. the investigators can't rule out the possibility of a link between these two crimes. >> it's tough to state at this point, it's unknown if they are connected. but detectives are working diligently on this. reporter: anyone with

42 in berlin, the cool spot 52. we do see some chilly air on the map, back in the plains states, back through the midwest into the great lakes. and it's all moving in our direction. however, all of of this cool air that marches in will modify in time, so it will not be as cold as the readings you see right now, so that tomorrow we're still in the 40's in many spots. the wind have been active all day long, still gusting at 15 to 25 miles per hour in a few spots, but they'll go light as we go through the later part of tonight into early tomorrow morning, a files looking wednesday, but what about more changes for thursday on, we'll look at that coming up. tom: legislation aimed at tackling new hampshire's heroin epidemic could be on the governor's desk three weeks into the new year. just in tonight, a legislative task force has recommended three bills to be expedited when the session resumes. mike cronin live in concord with mike? reporter: tom, over the past few

terp it certainly has been warm near 60. jennifer: we've all been talking about how warm it's been. so where do we stand in those record books when it comes to the warmest year? meteorologist josh judge takes a look. josh: let's recap this december, it's the 15th now so we can take the data right through today and see where we stand. first all, the average high, 14 of the 15 days we have been above the average for normal december high. december 1st, every okay since has been above average. and of course that has been continuing. so let's take a look at the top five all-time warmest decembers

bit. the warmest december on record, 1891 with an average together temperature of 35.4. and the number two, 1881. and then 2006, and another couple of years from very far away. and how did those years fare in terms of snowfall? you guessed it, with high temperatures in december the snowfall for the entire month was also very, very low. so we take this month and put it toward these other ones, 39.6. so that's way above any of these others. of course it's the first half of the month, the second half quite often can be cooler, so we have to take that with a grain of salt. incidentally the coldest decembers on record, 1989 was the coldest. we were just talking about average high of 39 that year the average was 11.9. so we're certainly on track, but we'll have to watch the rest of the month to see what happens. tom: we will watch it carefully.

cool down a little tomorrow, we're still above average. but what about the changes for the end of the week when showers move in?

rain last night, early early this morning. the rain gone as early as sunup, and a fair amount of the day dealing with sunshine. a few clouds did build in. the winds have been active, too, building out of the northwest, but right now they're continuing but not as strong as they were late morning and early afternoon. having said that, you can tell the wind direction by the motion on the radar scopes. and those radar scopes are showing some rain showers mixing in with a little snow and across the mountain tops of northern new hampshire. as for temperatures, still well above the average. into the lower to mid 40's in the north country. plymouth checking in at 47. concord right now at an even 50. the dew point and temperature are well apart from each other, so it's fairly dry out there. manchester at 52. and the wind are blowing out of the west and northwest at about 15 to 20 miles per hour. so it feels a little bit cooler, but eventually that wind drives in cooler air tonight. so we will bottom out basically in the upper 20's and lower to

average for overnight lows. gusts from 15 to 25 miles per hour. a few spots a little higher in northern new hampshire. again that wind direction out of the west northwest, so that will drive in colder air for tomorrow. but having said that, still 10 degrees above the average, and still a little above the norm on thursday. speaking of which, once this storm departs, all of the low clouds back to the west dry up. so we'll be clear sailing a good part of your wednesday and wednesday evening. notice as we advance in future cast touch to find any showers even up north by later on tonight. sunshine statewide tomorrow. then the next system approaches on thursday, with rain showers late day into the night. the tricky part of the forecast is well in advance of that approaching front, there will be a south to southeasterly wind driving in low level cloudiness and a few sprinkles or drizzle. at the same time that's happening, temperatures near the ground will be right near

back roads and untreated surfaces a light glazing of ice in a few spots, a slight chance that happens. hours. then the rain showers build in when temperatures are above freezing late day into thursday night before it dries out again for friday and a good part of the weekend. upper 30's up north tomorrow. lower to mid 40's in the lakes region, back through tupper valley and mid 40's from the merrimack valley south and southwest. possibly a little cooler right at the coast. the sky cast over manchester for tonight, cloud tend to move out, fairly nice sunup tomorrow with temperatures topping off back into the fowrlts after bottoming out the the mid 30's. it's still above average right through friday. then we get to the weekend and upper 30's, maybe a degree or two above the norm, but it will feel colder with gusty winds. snow showers on saturday may add up to a little bit. sunday a few flurries early. a weak system with rain showers
