5:19 pm
hour. and they'll be a little better tomorrow, but it will still be breezy at times. and it's those winds that are causing this snow, now that the air is cold enough, we have the winds coming out of the west northwest, bumping into the mountains, and what happens is the wind going over the mountains squeezes out the snow. let's take a look at the winds calming at least some tomorrow, it will still be breezy, but much better. clouds and sun back and forth in southern new hampshire, and in northern new hampshire, there is what we'ven still are. and notice how you have snow on this side of the mountains and rain on this side, as i was just alluding to, here's what happens. the winds come over the mountains and rise, the wind is forced to rise up as it goes over the mountains. the air rises up, it condenses out into clouds and snow. then it comes down on the other side and the air warms up from compression going downhill, and

5:21 pm
that's thursday and into friday morning. so the lows tonight are going to be chilly, 20's and low 30's and then tomorrow once again similar temperatures to today, 40's for most of us and we stay with the cool weather, the rest of the week, until we get to the weekend when we get a little milder and we'll be back into the 50's. tom: there we go, all right, thank you. coming up next, fighting drug cartels across the border. jean: congressional candidates tell us how far they'd willing to go. >> national security a recurring theme on the campaign trail.

5:25 pm
border immediately. i still believe that's critical. it is a security issue. i would be in favor of securing that border now, by building a wall or fence where practical, augmenting that with electronic countermeshers and augmenting that with manpower where practical. we have the ability to secure the border, we should secure it now. >> the question about the use of military force to go after drug cartels, i think what we need to do is we cartels, but it's a process that starts at home. last week, i want to make sure that we're coordinating a cross the border. what we learned in the briefing that we had last week is that the drugs are -- we need to make sure that we have a sense of who is bringing that in and then go after them
5:26 pm
they're using all different airplanes, it's not a wall that's going to make the difference here. but we've got to use our intelligence and act on it. and i want to make sure we have coordination of our federal resources at all levels, f.b.i., c.i.a., department of defense, to get at the source. jean: we will hear from senate candidates straight ahead at 5:30. tom: also at 5:30, uber coordinating health care? the unusual deliveries i jean: and volkswagen will start buying back its compromised cars next week.
