Psome areas getting well into the p30s. Pthe almanac showing the average phigh for today about 33 for pconcord so well go a little pabove that, but this upcoming pweek after a mild weekend we go pright back down into cold pterritory again and a few storm pchances as well. Pwell go through those. Plets look at the satellite. Pa lot of sunshine, southern new phampshire, but a chance for pclouds and flurries coming pthrough. Pweve only got the chance for pflurries in northern new phampshire both today and ptomorrow. Pother than that a lot of psunshine.

Ptheres uncertainty for this pupcoming week, monday, tuesday, pand two systems both of them off pshore. Pthe storm system, quite a bit poff shore, but enough to perhaps pfire off light snow or periods pof snow or snow showers monday pafternoon and evening, that one ulls away and another one pops pup on tuesday during the day and pthat could bring a good psnow tuesday afternoon, tuesday pnight into wednesday morning. Pif it backs closer to us, again, pstill some uncertainty on this, pit could be more snow than that.

Pthose are the two snow chances pand Storm Chances for this pupcopping week and certainly pthose two storms will be out pthere to sea. Pthe only question, are they 50 pmiles out to sea or 50 miles pcloser to us and that could make pthe changes r difference in the pworld. Pin the mid to upper 30s for ptomorrow. Pupper 30s and even lower 40s pin some spots as you can see pthere, but a big change for the pupcoming week.

Pthis is the candidates last pchance to have an impact on pvoting on tuesday. Pi think a lot of people are pwondering whether Donald Trumps psupport is softening and marco prubios surge. Pweve got three governors, pkasich, christie and cruz. Pthey havent seen them elsewhere pin iowa. P what are we looking for pdonald trump . P well see how much he wants pto reinsert himself in the pconversation. Pjust having him on stage will pchange the dynamic. Phow aggressive hell be, if he pgoes after marco rubio, who is pchallenging him now. Pbut hes had back and forth with pted cruz. Pamy who has make or break . P certainly donald trump, if he ploses tonight, hell be pemboldened. Pcandidacies here, particularly pChris Christie and jn kasich and pjeb bush as well. Pif they dont do well, i think plie drop out. Pamy crossing over to the side, pclinton. Ptheres a double digit lead for pBernie Sanders. Pis that number maybe not as psolid as people think it is . P i think the Clinton Campaign pis hoping theyll have a replay pof the magic in 08. Pin 08 she was down 8 to 11 oints depending on the poll in pthe last weekend and won.

P its a stark contrast to pyesterday and feeling brighter pwith the freshly fallen snow out pthere in manchester you can see pthat. Pice in some locations because of pthe cold temperatures we saw plast night. Pbe careful of that. P17 in downtown manchester and pteens everywhere. Psome areas got into the single pdigits overnight, but have precovered and will continue to pdo so with all of that sunshine. Pthe winds have calmed quite a pbit from yesterday when they pwere gusty as well. Pand so, its going to be calm pand bright for today, not a bad pday, you can see northern new phampshire has clouds and those pclouds could sprout some snow pshowers or flurries as this pdisturbance brushes us just in pnorthern New Hampshire. PHigh Pressure keeping it away pfrom most of us and pushing it pup into canada. Pwe could see some flurries today pand tomorrow in the north pcountry. PHigh Pressure does exactly what pyoud expect and brings us retty nice weekend for now, panyway, but things do get a plittle bit more unsettled for pthe upcoming week. Psun and clouds mix, light winds pand fairly comfortable, mid to pmaybe upper 30s in some plocations today, tonight, clear pskies and then tomorrow, clear pto start and a few clouds mix pin, more clouds again in the pflurries.

P until the realities of the poffice intrude. P he thinks he can write his pown laws. P and we have to fix our olitics. P and its more of an illusion pthan reality. Pbut maybe thats ok, some say.
