temperatures bottoming out near 62 for a high temperature on sunday. so what's happening between then and now to get so cool? a cold front, of course, it's about to move through. you have scattered showers already moving into the north country, the clouds are starting to fill in as well. that will happen in earnest as we go through the overnight here as the cold front starts to approach. behind it, some cooler and drier air. it's going to finally feel a lot more like fall here is the latest drought monitor. this report came out earlier this morning. you can there really isn't much change, still the extreme doubt conditions continue into nashua and portsmith. less of a problem in the northern part of the state because you guys have simply had more rain than the rest of us in southern new hampshire. manchester is still down a good 16 to 17 inches for the year. that's a big problem as we head into, of course, the winter season here.

overnight tonight after midnight really a chance of showers for the notches northward. we are seeing that in the far northern regions of the state. you see this line try to make its way make its way into southern new hampshire as we get in the afternoon. some of us may not come away with a drop tomorrow. i'm hopeful we'll see a couple of scattered showers even in southern new hampshire around the mid-day hours. the clouds clear, tomorrow night for friday night football games, good to go and saturday, back to sunshe. weekend ahead of us here. overnight 50's and 60's. 55 in concord, about 60 degrees in manchester. here is the school day forecast. so i would probably have your kiddo in rain gear, have it available tomorrow morning, especially if you live in the north country and then it's possible that we get a few more showers into the afternoon. the race forecast up in loudon this weekend, sunny and much cooler. by the way, it was 90 degrees the last time we had a race in
