mike haddad has a look at how day. early, it was not much of an issue but they started to pick up in the afternoon. mount washington had a wind gust at 98 miles per hour. close to a 50 mile-per-hour wind gust in manchester. take a look at the winds right now, these are sustained winds. 5-25 miles per hour. still gusting. close to 40 in nashua. hang onto these winds and slowly, falling temperatures. those temperatures leading to snow in parts of northern new hampshire. shelley: tragedy in strafford today. a 62-year-old woman died after her kayak capsized on a choppy lake. wind gusts hit as high as 50 miles per hour in the water that community to understand the conditions. the town's fire chief says the rough conditions cost a local resident her life. around 3:00 p.m., his department received a call about a kayaker in distress. rescue crews rushed to the scene. >> unfortunately, we have located the kayak. it was empty. search-and-rescue. shelley: rescuers braved the water after they spotted a debris field. >> we had seve

thank you so much for joining mike haddad with santa, wmur news 9. weather: i wonder if mike is on the nice or not the list. any guess where the highest temperature was seen? northern new hampshire, 59 temperature readings we saw around the state. let's check out the last seven days. except for one day, look at the warm temperatures. these are all above average, with the exception of last saturday. there is more above average temperatures to come. there is a limit to it. the temperatures next week will be dropping. we topped off at 50 degrees in concord today. the record is 70 degrees back in 1990. well above average. the temperatures are still above the average high which is 48 degrees for today eerie -- for today. we solid that more rainfall yesterday. up to an inch or two and spots. every drop helps, and we were happy to see that. we have a few days of pretty much nonstop sunshine. fog in the overnight hours tonight. late tonight through early tomorrow morning and during the early morning hours, we will see the clouds starting to wake up. fog burn

mike haddad is here now with what to expect over the next few hours. mike: had this rain moving in great news for all of new hampshire, putting another dent in the drought. take a look at doppler radar, rain continues to pivot in from the south and some fall at a mod toter heavy clip, on average light to moderate and we'll see it at varying intensities through the course of the night. right now steadiest around peterborough and poi just west of manchester, also another band around nashua towards seabrook and a few more pockets of moderate rain in and around the heart of the lakes region of in terms of rain tallies so far, very little to the north, much more to the south. just over an inch in parts of central massachusetts. so by the time all is said and done we could see up to an inch plus in parts of the granite state. later on this evening the rain will wind down, so early tomorrow morning just a few lingering clouds and light showers for some. rest of the week? plenty of changes moving in our direction between now and the weekend, all of that straigh

let's check in with mike haddad for an update. mike: most of the steady snow is couple of flurries in southern zones. right now, big swirl in the atmosphere and basically what that means is cold air and yes cold air working over relatively warm warts of the great lakes, kicking off heavy lake effect snows to our west. but they tend to weaken as they approach new hampshire. instead we get the wind flowing up over the mountains, wringing out available moisture and that's kicking off the snow right now in northern and central locales. through manchester, over to the coast, clouds, even some breaks out there, chance of a few flurries, most of the steady snow tonight will be in the great north woods and heart of the white mountains, but the next hour or two stretch through parts of the lakes region and around laconia, and barnstead and loudon, wolfeboro and ossipee, could see an additional coating of snow. with temperatures out or below freezing, that means slick road towards the thanksgiving holiday and beyond? into black friday and th

chief meteorologist mike haddad is monitoring the weather conditions out there right now . it looks like we have some smooth sailing. mike: a few flurries, that's basically it. you will notice the clouds trying to break apart sometimes south and east of the lakes region. be mainly dry in a good part of the evening. that is our weather overnight into monday and monday night, but already eyes in the next system producing primarily green back. eventually that has to move in here. it will be mainly dry and roads in pretty good shape. a little mixing with temperatures near freezing. again not much of an issue. how much rain to expect and yet another system to follow that one before we get to the week in a few minutes. adam: here's a live look at the manchester-boston regional flight board. the faa says most airports nationwide have experienced delays of 15 minutes or less this afternoon. cherise: and taking a quick look at our traffic maps, the commute from boston into manchester, concord, and traffic to and from the seacoast is pretty clear right now. cherise: despite recent rai

we begin our team coverage with mike haddad. mike: we do have some beneficial rain falling in many parts of the granite state right now. until the ground freezes we could use any system we can get to help against the droug. above freezing, just barely though, in plymouth at 33. 37 in the heart of the lakes region. 36 in concord, but notice some of the higher terrain and along the coast, in the mid to upper 40's. we do have a lot of warm air streaming in off the ocean, and that's changing everything over to plain rain, as can you see here on doppler radar. the exception, some of of the sheltered whom lows up north so could be a touch of a wintery mix in parts of the mount washington valley into the great north woods. back edge already approaching eastern new york, so that will be through by later tonight. but already signs of the next system bringing more beneficial rain our way before we get to the en of tomorrow. we'll look at the timeline in a few minutes. tom: light rain and temperatures around the freezing mark made some road

tom: apparently there is some rain on the way and every bit helps, let's go to mike haddad. mike: looks like some big help on the way for tomorrow as superintendent rain does move in, maybe a couple of showers early. but the afternoon is when most of it does approach. happening over new england. there are a few high clouds right now, but the thicker clouds with the steady rain holding off until sometime tomorrow morning, and right now it's lined up over southern new jersey, back through the nation's capital and into portions of the appalachian mountains. tomorrow morning we see the thick clouds already moving in with a couple of light showers, but late morning and afternoon steady rain, possibly over an inch in many spots, but how much more than that could we see and when will that to return. jennifer: vice president elect mike pence says he is recruiting people with character and the competence to implement donald trump's vision for the country. as the trump administration slowly takes shape, new hampshire could play a major role in several key positions. josh mcelveen takes

for a closer look at what's ahead in the forecast, let's send it over to mike haddad. mike: extreme southern new hampshire still in the extreme drought. the update came in this morning and here you have it, severe drought conditions over a good portion of new hampshire including the lak through concord, manchester towards the coast. you get from seabrook to derry, points south and west, that's where the rainfall deficit is greater than 30 to 35%. but concord, take a look at this, 28.40 inches of rain so far since the first of the year, 35.70 is the average, that puts us about 20% below the average rainfall, and none in our near future. but there is a system back to snow. what about the big pattern change that develops by the end of the weekend, that's ahead. jennifer: from the climate prediction center, even if we do have a snowy winter, our current drought conditions will persist until at least march. jennifer crompton will explain. reporter: it means that our current situation is effectively frozen in time. because the latest map from the national association predicts

chief meteorologist mike haddad has the outlook for us tonight. mike: at least for tonight and tomorrow things are looking very nice. we've got dry skies, clear conditions, and yes the temperatures on the chilly side. but nothing falling out of the cloud cover. back in the midwest, turns into rain, that system will tend to weaken in time but will be right on top us for thanksgiving day. the big travel day however tomorrow over manchester, no issues weather wise, lots of sun, breezy through early afternoon, we'll top off around 42 degrees, traveling elsewhere in the east from new york to philly and d.c. will be nice and dry. no travel delays weather related in those areas colorado be minor delays in chicago due to some rain thundershowers and that's the same system we're tracking you will notice by the early part of the morning the clouds lower and thicken and that light band of snow showers may be just enough to glaze up the roads, beginning during the early to mid morning in southwestern new hampshire, and the rest of the state by mid to late morn

chief meteorologist mike haddad is here with the details. mike: all of the major roads are in fine shape. through this evening. there are changes developing in the midwest. when will that approach here? not during the day tomorrow. it is dry for your monday. the clouds thicken up and here in parts of southern new hampshire. we will take a closer look at that system and another batch of rain moving in straight ahead. cherise: now lets take a look at how traffic is moving this evening. the commute on eye 93 from the state line to manchester is moving good. on 293 traffic is moving slightly slower near the tolls. concord traffic is slow moving. and traffic to and from the seacoast on the spaulding turnpike is moving good. adam: despite recent rainfall, much of the state remains in a moderate to severe drought, and we're expected to enter the new year with extremely dry conditions. but right now one town is easing water restrictions. wmur's siobhan lopez joins us siobhan: salem is one of the few areas that remains in an extreme drought, but the t

chief meteorologist mike haddad is in now with a look ahead at the weekend. mike: it is chilly and the winds still active out there and i think they'll continue through midnight, shortly after before diminishing. top gusts close to 100 miles per hour atop mount washington, and close to 50 in manchester. any time you get those winds scattered outages and we did see that across the state from lay morning to the present hour. right now sustained win anywhere from 7 to 23 miles per hour, but the gusts are still up over 30. so still quite active, could see a few scattered outages continuing before the winds shut down, but there's a lot of chilly air in place, holding out for snow showers in the white mountains and parts of the great north woods right now. of that straight ahead. tom: after losing the presidential election, democrats are now looking at the party's future. jennifer: a familiar face from new hampshire could play a role in reshaping the democratic national committee. wmur's siobhan lopez is live in concord with this. reporter: he hasn't made a decision

but tomorrow morning's commute could be slick with the arrival millions mike haddad for the timeline. mike: yes, all quiet right now and remains that way through the predawn hours of today morning, but notice temperatures, may were well above freezing a couple hours ago, now below freezing in the lakes region down to concord, upper valley, points north and even the monadnock region, just one degree above in nashua and only a few above the man schers and the coast. a lot of chilly air, but notice the water temperature at 51. enough warmup to change everything to rain. it all rain now back to the west, but tomorrow morning it bumps into this. overnight lows 20's to around 30. that means rain with pockets of freezing rain. we'll break down the timeline for tomorrow and look at another system heading our way before the mid-week is over, straight ahead. tom: tonight president-elect trump is taking aim at election results in several station top officials want to see proof of that accusation. mike cronin is mere now with the reaction. reporter: hillary clinton beat donald trump by about 2700

let's check in with mike haddad. mike: still windy out there and those winds will continue through the midnight hour before gradually shutting down during the overnight stretch. some of the top wind gusts today, mount washington as you might expect well up there, well into hurricane force. manchester close to 50-mile per hour winds and gusts during a couple times. rochester topping off at 44, to 40 miles per hour. in a gust early this afternoon. still steady winds out of the west northwest, 10 to 25 miles per hour, but the gusts still up between 30 and 40. the top wind atop mount washington just coming in now at 98 miles per hour. those winds also driving in much cooler air already 30's from the lakes region north and west, and only low 40's south. matter of fact, cold enough for snow showers to be flying through parts of the great north when will they shut down and what follows for your saturday and sunday, we'll look at that straight ahead. tom: right now a brush fire burning at lynn woods reservation in lynn, massa

jean: let's check in with mike haddad to see about the weather. mike: it's been fairly dry, and we don't have rain in april or may, but this time around here we are in november searching for more rain and we're still in that extreme drought other extreme southern new hampshire. however, where some of the brush border of the moderate to severe drought. there is some relief on the way for tomorrow in terms of the brush fire concern. fair skies at least for now, we've got that full super moon out there again tonight. so get out and take a look at this over the next pugh hours. we have some rain to our south, that's making inroads. the next stop will be over southern new england tomorrow afternoon some of the heavy rain begins to approach southern new hampshire. we could actually get a couple of rain showers as we are as mid, late morning through midday, and there's quite abuilt of rain on future cast for tomorrow afternoon and early evening. how much can we expect ask what about more changes for the middle and end part of the week, all of that straigh
