cloudy sky. inland sections, especially farther west and north have been weeding in more sunshine as of late. i think more out there today even in places that haven't seen much like concord and manchester likely getting in on more sunshine today as the effects of hermine continue to slowly shift away. still a lot of linger the low to mid 80's. lows in the 60's with a passing shower or storm. even warmer tomorrow. tomorrow likely the warmest day of the entire stretch before we have another front coming through over the weekend which will start to lower the humidity. looks like that starts to develop on sunday on the northwesterly wind. for the time being, partly cloudy skies out there. patchy fog due to the higher humidity overnight and longer evenings out there. you notice the first of two fronts back out to the west. this crosses state later on tonight. shower chances if we're going to see anything would in far north western sections after 5:00 or 6:00. then from there, the better chance will be overnight for anyone as they will continue to see the chance of a passing shower or storm moving from west to east across the state overnight. temperatures right now in the 60's to near 70 degrees. of course we have the dewpoints in the 60's south of the white mountains. temperatures with the longer evenings just allowing to fall back to the levels. this is known as the time of year with a lot of fog. the time being. while you have the longer nights out there. still some 50's up north. even there have a little bit warmer than the last few mornings. temperatures today will be making their way up into the upper 70's to mid 80's. just kind of scattered around. as you get down in elevation seeing the patchy fog play out. a lot of that will be burning off here by 9:00 or 9:30. that leaves us with partial sunshine. maybe as far inland. you are likely stuck in the clouds today. we'll call it a mostly cloudy skies. just a few breaks later on. that will keep temperatures down there. inland sections will go into the low to mid 80's. chance of a passing shower storm. doesn't look like much. tomorrow we give way to sunshine. it should be a warmer today. highs tomorrow 80's statewide. maybe as high as 88 or 89 in a few southern locations. then the next front looks like it approaches over the weekend. looks like any sort of day saturday will be give way to clouds. another front crossing saturday evening or early sunday could start to lower the humidity levels starting as quickly as early sunday. i think early sunday with it building northwesterly wind, we'll start to knock down the humidity for the first half of next week. low to mid 80's today. fog giving way to partial sunshine. clouds will be hugging the coastline. a shower or storm with the warmth and humidity. cooldown after we have the secondary front come through saturday early into sunday. looking like a good weekend. we get most of the shower activity saturday evening or early sunday. erin:
