made it into the 60's or very close to it. if you didn't hit 60 you were likely in the 50's. 64 in concord. and right now we're still in the 60's in plenty of locations, not quite as warm as it was. so we're about 10 degrees above average or normal for today and we're going to see that translate into a milder night as well as there's warm air in place and there will be clouds around as well. so that will trap the winds actually right now, mostly coming in out of the southwest, as you'd expect with a milder day. comparedded to yesterday at this time, here's how much warmer we are. anywhere from 5 to 15 or more degrees warmer than where we were yesterday. there is some rain on the way this month, of course a brand new month, so no rain yet this month, but since september 1, 9.2 inches of rain in concord, that is 1.65 above normal.

way, we're still down about 6.5 inches for the year. but at least we're making some progress. some parts of southeastern new hampshire not quite as good a picture as concord where they keep records, but at least it gives you a starting point idea. clouds and sunshine back and forth is what we saw today. but things are about to go much more cloudy and wet over the next 24 hours. as this area of rainfall is pushing in our direction, it's an area of low pressure riding along a cool front on the other side of that air. and things get cooler and chillier for the foreseeable future as you can see the cold front begins to push on in. i'm not talking about extreme cold, but cooler than we have been. future cast thickens up the clouds and during the overnight hours especially in central and northern new hampshire. when you wake up tomorrow many of us will see rain right from

southeastern new hampshire where it may take longer to the rain to penetrate. but as you can see from future cast here, some downpours embedded within that area of shower activity are likely and then some scattered showers tomorrow evening. we go into friday with the skies clearing out, cooler though, and breezy, and that lasts right into and through the weekend. so a milder night tonight in the 40's just about everywhere, but tomorrow will be back to about average for this time of year with those showers around. and we take a look ahead the next seven days you especially compared to the 60's of today. but overall the weekend looking dry and sunny with some flurries possible at any time in the mountains. otherwise temperatures largely in the 40's to near 50 degrees. jean: thanks, josh. a local hero is hanging up his hiking boots. tom: up neck how the man leaving mount washington saved hundreds of lives. and at 5:30. >> bringing voters together after a bitter presidential

lead to. so it's still quite a challenge. mike: it's fun to walk through here, you still have achers and acres. how large is it? >> 14-acres. mike: how long does it take to plan it and get it set up? >> excluding the wait for the corn to grow, it takes approximately three weeks, that's the prepping of the soil which takes three or four days. takes three or four days to plant and it then we've got to wait for the corn to germinate before we can plan out the route. mike: and you still have time. on your check list and you want to get out there to a corn maze and you said oh, all the soccer games, kids activities kept me away, you've got one more shot. tell us about the hours this weekend you're open. >> we're open from 8:00 to 6:00 on sunday though we will be closing probably around 5:00. so the last people will go in at 4:00 because of the change of time. mike: a beautiful sunset here earlier, but of course that

mike: you've got one more shot to get lost, navigating through 14-acres of a corn maze here in londonderry. this is the weekend that we fall back. but what else will be fall out of the clouds here over the next 24 hours, josh is here with a look at the next seven days. josh j.: yes, we'll take a look at this and hope you find your way back to the studio, mike. we've got odds on about 7:00 tonight. here's a look at the last seven days in concord, because today was a lot warmer, of course, it's been in the 40's to low 50's today. concord ma to 64 degrees out there. so with those mild temperatures you were able to get outside with a thinner jacket for sure. still hanging onto those temperatures in the upper 50's and lower 60's at the moment. and regionally it is also certainly cooler, warmer out there as well. you look to the west and to the east, everybody joining in on this. farther south, new york city in the lower 70's.

for those folks there. but certainly a warmer day in general for the northeast. but that is about to be erased, as clouds and rain showers are on their way in. here's a look at them as they crack along a cool front, and as that front rolls through tomorrow we could see a couple of downpours as well as times of off and on rain showers. the other side of the front a lot cooler for friday and through the weekend. but the weather calms down quite a bit as well as this cool air mass comes down from canada and northern parts of the will slowly be streaming in as we go through the nighttime hours. if you're the central and northern parts of the state, even southwestern new hampshire, a chance to see a couple of showers overnight. early tomorrow morning, more rain, rocking ham county, southern stratford county, it may be later in the more than for some of you.

evening. but still leftover scattered showers. certainly plan on the umbrella, and cooler conditions too by about 10 degrees, right around average for this time of year. then as we head into friday, look at the clearing that moves on in. couple of snow showers can't be ruled out in the mountains. a nice day on friday, but cooler and breezy. lows tonight in the 40's. so that's pretty mild compared to the last few nights. but one last mildig some cold nights will be returning. southern new hampshire tomorrow, because it takes longer for the rain to reach you, those temperatures may get higher. everyone necessary the lower 50's and some 40's. there's a look at friday and cooler conditions, breezy but plenty of sunshine, those temperatures falling in the afternoon, starting off probably with the highs in the morning hours. then look at the weekend, we fall back, that looks fine. cool but sunny.

at election day, in excuse not to vote, lots of sunshine. jean: that's good to hear. thanks, josh. tom: next, surfers in australia are used to sharing the water, but check out the video one onlooker captured. jean: yikes. then at 6:00 a first of its kind

imagine if hillary clinton wins the white house... then what? liberal carol shea-porter? she'll be a rubber stamp for clinton's agenda. progressive shawn o'connor?

heir agenda: higher taxes. more government spending. and a weaker national defense. only frank guinta will put new hampshire first. that's the key difference in this race. frank guinta. he's on our side. i'm frank guinta and i approved this message.

decided to join surfers in byron bay. this unbelievable video was captured by one of the surfers riding a wave right over the shark. onlookers could only watch in disbelief. they then alerted the surfers there was a visitor nearby. cue the jaws music. the shark ended up swimming away. he surfed right over that shark. tom: as fonzarelli would say, 's shark. thank you for joining us. vo: ending funding for planned parenthood. taking away our right to choose. restricting our health care choices. this is senator kelly ayotte's record.

and she supports overturning roe v. wade. woman 1: kelly ayotte says she's for women. but it's just an act. woman 2: voters definitely cannot trust kelly ayotte. vo: senate majority pac is responsible for the content of this advertising. what's kelly ayotte costing you? you're paying more for prescription medicines. kelly ayotte blocked lower cost generic drugs. you're paying high interest rates on college loans. and you're paying higher bank fees while ayotte voted for special breaks to wall street executives. kelly ayotte. she's siding with corporate special interests and that's costing you.
