josh j.: people are going out of their gord with snow and cooler weather today. here's a look at your unofficial high temperatures, only making it into the 30's in northern new hampshire, and the 40's elsewhere. the highest we could muster in concord was 47. and mid to upper 40's everywhere else. 43 in keene and lebanon. 41 in plymouth. and the winds of course have been gusting as well, making these temperaturee your current temperatures a few degrees lower than what i just showed you where we maxed out today and there's the winds, these are the current wind gusts from 15 to 25 miles per hour. and they gradually settle down through the night tonight and through the day tomorrow, but tomorrow it will still be breezy, but not as windy as what we saw today. here's a sneak peek at what it might look like tomorrow, 5 to 15, maybe 20-mile per hour gusts

clouds, this is all being caused by the wind bumping into the mountains. unlike a thunderstorm, for example, that moves across the screen, notice how this is stationary, and the reason for that is the winds come up over the mountain, forcing the air to rise. the air cools down and condenses, forms clouds, and snow. then it comes down the other side and dries out a little bit and warms up through to compression, and that's why we see a change over pulls away, the upsloping or there's a technical term, it's a tough term. these systems pulling down colder air from can darks it's chilly up there, so even cooler air pushing in, it means a cold night tonight, a chilly day tomorrow and a colder night for tomorrow, wednesday into

so a freeze for most likely tomorrow night, and frost and some freezing for tonight as well. those snow showers will wean a bit overnight and into the day tomorrow, still some flurries possible. but otherwise sunshine and some clouds at times. so partly to at times mostly sunny for tomorrow. the wind a little calmer so that's all better, however the temperatures don't really go up a lot from here tomorrow. as it will stay in the 40's a hampshire. because of the cold night tomorrow night, we have a system coming in thursday that will approach as snow. but because of the timing, and the timing is key on this, as long as it pofs in in the afternoon you'll see it warms up just enough to keep it as rain in most of the state. but areas north and west could have snow and in fact it could be sizable amounts of snow, could be several inches in the mountains as the cold air tries

so that's why we have the highest precipitation chances on thursday afternoon, friday morning, and then this weekend there's also the chance for some snow showers at times. so a chilly one out there tonight, 20's to very low 30's. tomorrow similar temperatures to today, and then tomorrow into thursday very chilly which could set the stage for snow up north and rain elsewhere. finally getting milder as we head back to the weekend. >> we have a lot of hockey to talk about, bruins, u.n.h.,

jamie: we have to do it, let's get it over with. 30 years ago today, game 6, bob stanley, mookie wilson, the his wicked legs, mets end up winning, they go onto game 7, mets end up winning. but we've won three times since, the red sox, and now we are onto 2016. and here we go. game one is tonight, chicago cubs at the cleveland indians. should be great. both teams have outstanding pitching staffs, which is why they're here in the fall classic in the first place. they both have exceptional starters going in game one. here they are.

individual and team goal, you want to make it to this point, you won't be the last team stan- you want to be the last team standing and having fun afterwards. it's very rewarding to get to this point, but we still have this week to go. >> i think you're so wrapped up in the moment of trying to prepare and do everything you can to be ready that for me at least it's all about getting prepared and being ready when it is time to throw the pitch. >> 8:00 tonight, let's hope it's a nice long series, fun to watch. to hockey and the boston bruins are back on the ice, ready to host the minnesota wild. it will be two games in two days for the b's, they are at the new york rangers tomorrow night. through five games in year bruins have three wins and two losses. the wild are slightly better, same record, but they also have an overtime loss. and we caught up with the u.n.h. hockey team at practice this afternoon. it's been a tough start for the

the wildcats have just one win in four tries. in each game they have trailed and that's something they are working on. >> we don't get the first goal, but spotting two goals is not the way you want to approach the game. >> i think that's just mental toughness before the game, i think preparation and overall the boys being >> some little things we gotta fix up and we start seeing different results, so we try to work on those and get ready for friday night against amherst. >> division one feel hockey semifinals are at exeter right now with eight mince to go, timberlane just took a 3-2 lead on central, they're trying to upset the little green. tonight pinkerton and winnicunnet in the semifinals, that's a rematch of the last two state championships both won by the warriors.

when all three of these guys show up, they come up with some crazy ideas. sometimes, i just have to say, "no way." so i appreciate it when annie kuster says "no" to cutting social security. she stood up to both parties to protect our benefits. annie's working to make sure we have a secure retirement. so i can worry about these guys instead. thanks, annie.
