that means slippery travel not out of the question from mid morning right through the afternoon, a few mixed showers likely on friday, and then another system will be tracking close by to new hampshire saturday and saturday night. tough to call how that will play out. but in the short term it is nice and quiet. the exception a few snow showers still darting through the heart of the white mountains, so if you're traveling through the notches, roe may be slick in those areas. outside of that, nice and dry all the wayil this will hold off until thanksgiving, likely starting after eight or nine in the morning. so traveling very early in the morning, not much of an issue. but shortly after that the roads could turn a little bit slick, due to temperatures at or below freezing. right now below freezing from the northern makes region into the great north woods, seven atop mount washington. mid 30's in concord. but that's only half the story, the win is very stubborn today.

teens and 20's statewide. so we have the cold air in place and as you might expect, tonight will be quite chilly yet again. mid and upper 20's on average as you head out early tomorrow morning. but cool air is not only here in the northeast, but it stens all the way back to the west. so that will play into the next system that arrives on thanksgiving, not during the day tomorrow. josh is here with a look at the travel detail is a cross a good part. southern and central new hampshire. josh j.: we're going to start off chilly tro temperatures around the region to expect the early morning temperatures to drop to. so plan on that cold start early in the morning. now let's go down deep and take a look at the temperatures throughout the day tomorrow to expect the salem area, starting off chilly, and making it into the lower 40's by afternoon. temperatures sinking down quickly as we head into the evening hours. temperaturessing in the upper

mike: we're taking a look at what happens between later tomorrow night -- it is dry in the northeast. so if you're traveling through eastern new york down through the big apple, into jersey, down towards philadelphia, eastern pennsylvania, high and dry through the early evening as well. but then later tomorrow night, clouds lower and thicken and a very narrow band of light snow showers will likely break out sometime during the mid to late morning, especially upper valley, monadnock be just enough, a coating, half inch to glaze up untreated roads of so keep that in mind for thanksgiving during the mid morning on. once we get into the evening, still some mixed showers out there, and then more of the same as we get into friday. temperatures likely a little bit milder, so more rain showers south, mixed to snow showers north. then we get into saturday, yet another system begins to develop. so that means light snow,

that is a slight possibility right now. in any event it would clear out as we go into sunday. monday is looking good and tuesday a little rain late. but a lot of travel plans 2010 now and sunday, at least we get wednesday looking good and a good part of sunday, but in between could be a little dicey here or there, stay tuned to updated forecasts later tonight. tom: the ski areas are going to open this weekend. jennifer: yes they can make snow, it's great. >> coming up, live from the
