Cooler, chance of showers. Last night's rain has drifted off to the east, but there's still a chance of showers today, especially late morning/early afternoon. On the other hand, cooler, drier air is moving in from the northwest, and it's looking like we'll have more sun than clouds for a good bit o...

We've got six days together. Then there's one more break, July 4-12. Just figured you'd want to know. Mostly sunny, warm—then showers tonight. There'll be more clouds around than yesterday, but temps will still climb into the low or mid 80s. There's also a weak system passing through that could br...

- Dartmouth seniors arrested May 1 can go to graduation

Boy, talk about a change in the weather. There's a system moving in from the Great Lakes, bringing with it more moisture in the air than we've had for our recent stretch of stunning weather.

- Norwich bridge once again leaking contaminants
- And hey, a one-off word puzzle..It's Daybreak Tuesday, 6/4...

Heads up: No Daybreak Monday. Back in your inbox as usual Tuesday morning. Sunny, warm—but not as warm.

Aaaannndd... even hotter. Today we get a sunny day (once the fog clears), with highs near 90. There's a slight chance of isolated thunderstorms late in the day, and though we don't get much respite overnight—lows tonight in the mid 60s—there's a chance of showers, and things start cooling down f...

- The Romaine Tenney story, animated
- A new, comprehensive online guide to NH's birds..It's Daybreak Friday, 5/17...
Partly sunny, pleasant. Once the clouds and fog clear in a little bit, we'll be getting into the mid 70s under a mix of sun and clouds, with winds from the southeast. Cloudier overnight, chance of showers, low around 50. Happy, hunting weasel. On Erin Donahue's E. Thetford trail cam. Ted Levin write...

Things should dry out overnight as hig...

Warmer, mostly sunny, maybe a thunderstorm this evening.
