Warm weather and low humidity this one sparked by a broken lawn mower. Tom take a look at this, the incredible sight at Yosemite National park, its called fire fall. It shows up at this time of year when the sun hits that water fall at just the right angle to make it glow. There also needs to be enough snow on the ground to help reflect light for that perfect fiery color. Mike that is awesome looking. Maybe not so exciting to look up at the cloud cover over warner right now, that gray milky appearance to the sky. The clouds are lowering and thickening ahead of the next system that you do see, producing a little snow back to our west. However, the air mass right now is extremely dry over New Hampshire, and even in parts of vermont. So what youre seeing, if any, is just flurries or very light snow showers. More saturated by mid evening and the disturbance approaching out of Central New York will start to trigger light snow over New Hampshire. First begins in western parts of the state shortly after 7 00 or 8 00 this evening, shortly after 8 00 or 9 00 in central sections and a little later near the coast. Notice that very narrow band of snow will set up shop just enough to make the roads sliply during the mid to late evening. Overnight a little more snow will tend to fill in, but also by that time temperatures begin to warm up at very low levels of the atmosphere, that means it will change over to a light mix or some rain especially concord south and east early saturday morning. One batch of precipitation moves away, lingering snow and showers up north. Could see some partial sun and then very late in the afternoon towards evening, another band of through. In terms of snow accumulations, not a whole lot to speak of, especially along the coast. But we could see a coating to southeast of manchester through nashua, possibly an inch and a half in a couple spots, generally one to three elsewhere. Could i awe few spots in the higher terrain that get up near four or five. For more on the weekend, heres haley. Hayley we do have shes snow showers moving through, but the good news is well likely have a break midday on saturday. So you can still get out and enjoy doing things outdoors, especially with how mild the temperatures will be. Heres an event for you to enjoy, the Center Harbor skate fest, the Second Annual one, will be going on tomorrow, and it goes from 1 00 to 7 00 p. M. Starting at 1 00 theyll have open skating, then at 2 00 they actually have a bonfire going, demonstrations. You can even skate after dark tomorrow night. It ends about 7 00 in the evening, and as you see, temperatures will be quite mild. Will climb at Center Harbor into 7 00 in the evening to the 30s. If ice skating isnt your thing but skiing or boarding is, heres the forecast for you. Tomorrow we might have some mixed showers in the afternoon, about 40 degrees on saturday. Then on sunday will be the brighter of the two days, with temperatures in the low 40s as well. So mike now has more on the extended forecast. Mike yes, as you talked about those mild temperatures, theyre in here. Overnight tonight well go from the 30s we are right now into the 20s to around 30 by morning. And that will actually happen during the predawn hours. Then towards Early Morning well start to see temperatures climbing back above freeze, thats why that change over to light rain. If we get enough partial sun in southern New Hampshire, a couple spots may make a run close to 50. But many will line up in the 40s. Again this is the break that should develop during the late morning and early afternoon before more rain showers pivot in late day into the evening. Notice the highs for tomorrow, its low 40s across the north country, and in ski country as well as haley just talked about. Its still mild in the lakes region, monadnock region mid 40s. Same story around concord, upper 40s in nashua and along the coast. There is a chance that a couple of spots if we squeeze out enough sun may hit 50 tomorrow. Snow develops, now watch the roads not in the next couple hours, but mainly after 8 00. I would tend to think that anything that falls at that point is just a few flurries. Then the roads could get slick late evening through the overnight. By morning temperatures rise a little in southeastern parts of the state, so that end as a little rain. Couple of rain showers tomorrow night, sunday is looking really good, a little breezy, could be a light dusting of snow in southern New Hampshire as the next weak system scoots south of us early monday morning. The rest of the day features clearing. Sunshine tuesday, next storm chance on wednesday. Looks like snow to start, but we especially in southern zones during the afternoon. Maybe more of a mix and rain on thursday. Tom well live with it. Jean thanks, mike. Two suspects are in custody tonight, after an attack inside a u.
