As you can see those temperatures have come down a little bit. Still it s a little breezy out there but certainly better. Another thing helps out which is the cold front had it in our direction. We saw sunshine in eastern New Hampshire and cloudy to partly sunny skies. A cold front now bringing clouds to all for a while and the chance of a few snow showers. They are possible anywhere but the other side of it is much colder air rushing on in. It doesn t last all that long. It bottoms out and then we get side of it.

The cold front rose through rolls through tonight and both days are fairly calm. Partly sunny skies tomorrow and mostly sunny on friday with highpressure overhead. In the wind starts to turn more out of the south and southwest as this system approaches and brings with it a warm front friday night into saturday morning. Maybe an inch were two and as the warm front crosses the state the could be random rain and maybe an inch short two. It will be right along the borderline temperatures. That pulls away pretty early but more is rotating in behind that warm front. As those temperatures get into the 30 s and 40 s on saturday. The overnight temperatures this time of year. Right down either side of 20 degrees. And lower 30 s. Lower 30 s to mid 30 s as you head toward the southeast. As we head toward the weekend, cooler temperatures over the next couple of days will get milder. A mild looking weekend as you can see.
