what should be a mild day. temperatures upper 50's to lower 60's. mount washington is not going to quite get to that level today. they will probably be in the upper 40's later this afternoon. but it will be a banner day for your election day. almost nothing but sunshine into the afternoon. it comes with the milder temperatures out there, a passing shower or two a possibility tomorrow morning. that will be the leading edge of cooler air that will gradually continue to take steps backward. t thursday. the coldest air likely peeking over the weekend. for the time being, sunshine out there. a little bit of ground fault in some of the lower lying valleys. some high clouds drifting in after midnight and a thin line of showers moving through, mainly tomorrow morning. temperatures in the 20's to lower 30's. as i mentioned, we are in the low and mid 40's atop mount washington early this morning. by far, the warm spot across the

60 with sunshine in the afternoon. clouds increasing. tomorrow morning, passing showers. cooler air starts to make its way in. the coldest air coming in as another front crosses the street on veterans day. the breeze will pick up through the afternoon. we are talking a brisk wind for saturday. if you have outdoor plans, maybe a couple mountain snow showers or flurries. there skies for sunday and monday. not much in the way of precipitation in your forecast. still need quite a and not much to be delivered. sean: but a little snow shower atop mount washington, if you so desire. kevin: warm enough. erin: while it lasts. we want to check our top stories. it is election day. ray brewer is in manchester, where the polls are now open. ray: it is expected to be a very busy election day here in manchester word one. you can see the long lines, although it does pay if your last name begins with the letters q through z.

molly's not thinking about cancer today, but three years from now, a routine screening will catch it early and make all the difference. so when chris sununu voted to cut funding for planned parenthood, cutting access to cancer screenings and birth control for thousands of women, for molly, it's the rest of her life. the stakes are too high to make chris sununu governo. this advertisement has been paid for by put new hampshire first

erin: finding a parking spot in the city can be tough, but toyota has a new car that could make it a little easier to squeeze in. sean: cedi on gas, too. this is the three wheeled electric car called the i-road. the two seater is only 3 feet wide and 7 feet long, and has -- are there two seats in that thing? and has built-in software that controls how far it leans going around corners, based on your speed. you need that now on your own car. the i-road tops out at 37 mph. erin: it is easy would you want a car like that on the highway? i do not know i would feel safe in something that little. a dealer in new orleans is now selling actual sunken treasure. sean: nearly 300 gold coins are up for sale. they are all from spanish ships that sank dring a hurricane off the coast of florida more than 300 years ago. the coins are all handmade, and the combined value is more than $1 million. erin: as long as ghost pirates don't want you. i think maybe all set with that. coming up in the next half hour, it is time to vote, and we have all the major races covered,
