5:19 pm
89 from back in 1947. so obviously we didn't break that record. the average, though we're way above that, 78 was the high and the average is 60. there will be any records broke ten rest of this week? small chance of it but not very high, they're mostly in the 80's for both portsmouth and concord. but we could get close. the clouds that have been moving into the southern part of the state, that's the leading edge of a warm front that's apprch a warmer air mass in for tomorrow, the thing is it will bring a few showers overnight and this warm air surges in. but the cloud cover will be the biggest problem in exactly how warm you get tomorrow. and here's why. tonight clouds moving in, a couple of scattered showers and maybe some downpours, especially in central or northern new hampshire, and it's possible this reaches down into parts of southern new hampshire as well. so some showers, much needed rainfall will move through some parts of the state, but we can't
5:20 pm
with clouds and a left over shower or two. the clouds start to peel away from south to north, but look how they hold on for a while through late morning or midday and then through the my day and afternoon hours, that's when the temperatures will soar upwards. if that happens soon enough, some spots could easily get to or even above in southern new hampshire 80 degrees. more warmth on the way for wednesday as well. here's your lows for tonight. another mild night, and then tomorrow we are 70's to near 80 yet again after morning clouds. the afternoon sunshine, more sunshine and warmth on wednesday, then things cool down a little. josh: quite a day today though. thanks, josh. jennifer: a record number of american high schoolers are making it to graduation. we'll have more on that when we come back. josh: a man cleared of a murder in the 1960's doing going back on trial for a different charge in that case.

josh: and student debt twas topic of a question for new hampshire's congressional candidates. we asked them what can be done about the threat of a lending bubble here in the u.s. and here are the answers coming from the first district candidates. >> student debt is outrageous right now. we need to control the cost of education in the universities and schools so they're not that expensive. we need to reduce people's debt by allowing them to renegotiate the price of their loans. and then we also college affordable. we need to give them a way that they can go to school, maybe work part-time or take certain steps to come out of school debt-free. i think that is the goal. if families don't have the money to educate their children, then we need to help there because education is the key to prosperity for all of these people. so it's gotten outrageous, the debt is great effort tonight credit card debt. it's choking people, it keeps people from coming into our
5:25 pm
purchasing cars and fully en engaging. increasing money for pell grants is one way to go about this. but the basic problem is it's too expensive for middle class families and we need to help them be debt-free or a small manageable debt. >> the president several years ago essentially eliminated the the private sector from being part of the options for students every time there's an increase in the federal subsidy, there's an increase in the cost of education. we need to have probably a new system of education. you need to have year round educational opportunities. we need to have online opportunities. but you've got to have the private sector back in driving the rates down. but most importantly students
