Well, donald trump is reversing course, acknowledging blaming his opponent for sparking the controversy. Abcs Karen Travers has the president s response. Donald trump finally stating this as fact. President barack obama was born in the united states, period. It was billed by his campaign as a major announcement and it was classic trump. He took no questions from the press, but he did get in a plug for his new d. C. Hotel. Nice and while trump was unequivocal about obamas birthplace, he threw out two other falsehoods. Hillary clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy. I finished it. Theres no evidence that clinton or her team eight years ago were behind the Birther Movement in washington, she imagine a person in the oval office who traffics in conspiracy theories and refuses to let them go, no matter what the facts are. I was pretty confident about where i was born. I think most people were as well. For years, trump refused to acknowledge the fact that the president was born in the united states. For many it admitted the sky is blue, or others its a coded language, who hated obama from the start and veins of racism through it. In a week and a half it will be just Hillary Clinton and donald trump on stage at the first president ial debate.

And good morning, we are looking at some rain heading in this direction and were really hoping that this ends up being the case where we all see some rain tomorrow and monday, as we need the rain desperately. But its not in the cards for day. Its a bit of a cool and crisp start out there. Look at the temperatures in northern New Hampshire and thats actually warmer than it was last hour when you were in the mid to upper 30s in the North Country. Right now, 40s and 50s will do it for us and were seeing the dew points that are in the 40s and 50s as well, but theyre going to rise tomorrow. So, if you like the dry weather, enjoy today, and if you like more humid weather and hoping for rain like most people are, thats all for tomorrow and thats when we have decent chances of seeing rain showers around, even the chances of downpours and or some thunder and lightning not out of the question for isolated thunderstorms as well. Here is a look at the dew points rising tonight into tomorrow. After a dry day today. It does get fairly humid and muggy and lasts into monday and tuesday as well. Take a look around. Beautiful blue skies accented by high, thin, cirrus clouds, a locations making for a very nice saturday. There will be a round at times throughout the day as we go through our saturday and get everything done outdoors and tomorrow, you will have dry times. Day if youre headed to a sporting event, maybe the patriots game. Its going to be just fine tomorrow in terms of getting those events in, but there will be, perhaps, some showers or even thunderstorms or a downpour at times. Which could put a temporary delay on some things. High pressure holds us under t but it finally slips out of the way and allows the front to roll into the day tomorrow and it stalls over us right through monday, once it finally pulls away, another very, pardon me, as you can see here, large area of High Pressure builds on in, something in my throat. Im getting a little choked up about the chance for rain, thats kind of exciting. A look at carl, this is Tropical Storm carl churning away, not really over anything right now, but as we get into the later is now a Tropical Storm winds 45 miles per hour, could be a category 1 hurricane with winds 75 miles per hour. Well wait and see because that will be somewhere near the east coast or headed to it and we have to wait and see if that affects us here. Hopefully well just have to wait and see what happens here. Dont want any damage here, we wouldnt mind it if it degraded to a Tropical Storm and brought rain. For today. Lots of sunshine and clear skies as well. We see the clouds thicken up and tomorrow morning at this time there could even thunderstorms around and off again, on again rain showers, hit and miss variety at anytime through the day tomorrow. As you see there, that continues off and on tomorrow night and then even into monday as well where we could see off and on rain showers, wont rain all the time. It could rain at anytime. Some could get completely bypassed and hopefully wont happen many places. Temperatures in the 70s, a huge difference between today and tomorrow and sunny, dry, warm in mid 70s, cloudy and humid with scattered showers around and they continue into monday and we dry out for the rest of the week.
