6:18 pm
low 30's at the coast. here's that warmup building just west of chicago, mid 50's there, temperatures could hit about 54 or 55 tomorrow. then we warm up nicely, 70's not out of the question just south of new hampshire, but lower to mid 60's in the cards for wednesday and possibly near 60 plus on thursday. not too much in the way of storminess this week. here's a front moving in through the great lakes, could trigger a scattered shower mostly upstate new york and northern parts tuesday night early wednesday time frame. but up until that point it is going to be dry statewide. the sky cast over manchester for tonight, clear skies, a few areas of patchy fog by daybreak. then the sun does go to work, once we get past late morning we're in the 30's and lower 40's and then back into the 50's by afternoon, right at the average for the first day of november. beyond that time frame, look at what happens as we advance through wednesday night into
6:19 pm
so after a dry wednesday, showers likely at any point during the day, northern parts of new hampshire, best shot in southern areas will be during the afternoon. so another little dent in the drought as we go through thursday, and it dries out again friday through the weekend. highs tomorrow around 50 plus in many spots, that's right at the average for the first of november. then we go well above the average, upper 50's north, 60 to 65 on wednesday. if we had had enough sun on thursday we'd be at l clouds will roll in, and that means temperatures about two or three degrees lower, but they're out of here by later on thursday night. friday the sun returns, but the winds crank up out of the northwest and that means a chilly end to the week and start to the weekend. by the way, the temperatures from friday through sunday are right at the average for this tiesm year. signs of another warmup sometime in the early and mid part of
