Coldest air so far this season is on its way. Looking ahead, evening flurries, snow showers for some. Most in the northern parts of New Hampshire. A dry and cool saturday will follow. A band of snow showers and we see quite a change to the west. That means the coldest air builds in and then it turns quiet and milder midweek next week and to friday. Snow showers are lining up in the North Country. Region and points south. They are beginning to dry up. The best bet of snow showers accumulating on roadways will be in northern parts of merrimack county in and around the tilton area into the hearts of the lake region and into the mount Washington Valley. That is where we could get some light accumulation on the roadways and it could be a little slick. Give yourself some time if traveling out and about this evening. As for southern parts of the state, midtoupper 30 s. Men and dock region around freezing monadnock region around freezing. 30 in unity. Newport at 34. Low to mid 30 s in the lakes region. Farther to the north, 20 s and 30 s. A little bit above the norm. Where do we end up overnight . Temperatures do cool down, but still remain above the average another day tomorrow that will feature above normal readings. Same story on sunday. Cold air just over the border, sitting here for a couple of more days. It will eventually move in monday into tuesday of next week. We have a band of snow showers moving throughout. They will dry up in central and southern parts of the state this evening. We have to turn our attention to the north and west where in arctic front is lining up.

For this evening, any snow showers lake regions south wind down. They will go up north where we could see a coaching to coat ing to and inch or two. A little bit breezy and seasonably cool. 30 north and midtoupper 30 south. Sunday so i better chance of snow showers anywhere but most accumulation will be in the North Country. Cannot rule out a late day snow shower. Here comes classic winter cold. It goes through to tuesday but then temperatures go back to average to above average next week. Josh the 50 s are gone. Jean thank you. Rescue crews saved a teenager lost in the woods in utah. Josh 14yearold Brayden Nielson was hunting with a friend when he became lost. He says he became disoriented and cold.
