Video: Sunny skies; highs reaching into the 40s

Advertisement

Temperatures early this morning are in the teens and 20s. We have clear skies across the area. I think everyone can agree. Let’s have some sunshine out there today, and I think full sun today and tomorrow. Today it’s with temperatures in the 40s. Tomorrow we’ll be back into the 50s and we’ll jump into the 60s on Friday afternoon. I think Friday is the relative warm day for us out there. We’ll slip back *** little bit over the weekend after the chance of *** shower Friday night, but. That chance of *** shower Friday night is really the only wet weather we have in the forecast all the way through the weekend. So, uh, while that was all going on yesterday, we had pollen counts which were on the modern category. Now the scale is out of 12. The first phase of pollen is tree pollen, and we are starting to see those buds on the trees in the southern half of the state. So this is around *** 5.5 out of 12. This will continue for *** good portion of the next several days and look for this to go up to. *** higher level as we go forward here over the next week or two. There is your ramp up in temperatures peaking Friday. We’ll still be in the 50s with dry skies over the weekend after that chance of *** shower later Friday night. *** lot of sunshine for us today. There may be *** little bit of *** lingering breeze at 5 to 15 miles an hour, but wouldn’t even call it breezy or even windy going into the afternoon. That is the next front, and again, by the time it gets here, it might be *** stray rain. Shower with temperatures in the 60s out ahead of it Friday afternoon and kind of holding in the 40s going into Friday evening. Temperatures right now down to the 20s. This is the recipe of clear skies and light winds. We’ve dropped all the way to the teens up north and yes, sub-zero atop Mount Washington for actual temperatures this morning. 40s this afternoon, running about 5 or 7 degrees cooler than our normal highs for this time of year. And after another seasonably chilly night with the clear skies. Light winds tonight. That is the beginnings of *** warming trend. Tomorrow, breeze will start to pick up out of *** southwesterly direction, as you will notice, just about full sunshine again for your Thursday afternoon. We get into Friday and we’ll kind of mix clouds with sunshine. We’ll call it partly sunny, and there will be the risk of *** shower as we go later into Friday evening. But as you will notice here on Futurecast, minus that chance of *** shower during the daylight hours Friday, there really isn’t much to write home about here as. as that rain chance going into Friday night, skies will clear very early Saturday, 60s Friday back into the 50s, but as you can see, it is partly sunny skies for both days over the weekend. Next chance of showers will likely be *** warm front arriving on Monday. And as you will notice all the way at the end of the 7 day forecast is that warm front with temperatures in the 60s Monday and *** chance to go above 70 on Tuesday.

As the latest system moves away, skies have cleared. This sets up full sunshine today and Thursday as temperatures get a boost as the week wears on. Highs on Friday could make it into the upper 60s. The weekend starts with a few showers then dry. Temperatures in the 50s. It is a chilly start to the day but sunshine will lead to a cool afternoon. Highs will remain mostly in the 40s.Temps will drop into the 20s tonight just about statewide with fair skies.Temperatures trend upward to end the week. Highs will bounce back into the 50s Thursday and above 60 on Friday.Passing showers will be possible later Friday night and into Saturday morning. That front will bring the temperatures back into the 50s for highs over the weekend.

Concord Heights Abuse Of Corpse And Falsifying Evidence Case From May 2024 Inches Forward


Venus said after the hearing that Spataro remained in jail for bail jumping and fleeing to Connecticut, but he was not needed in court for the status conference.

A final pretrial hearing has been booked for Aug. 31, with jury selection to begin on Sept. 22.

Other Charges, Suspects

Along with the bail jumping felony, Spataro has seven felony acts, prohibited drug charges from February 2023 out of Concord — around the same time Meunier disappeared. He also has a subsequent drug possession charge from September 2024 in Hooksett. Those charges are also scheduled for a status conference on Aug. 31.

Jocelyn Cote, Spataro’s girlfriend at the time, was also charged with a felony accomplice evidence charge and an accomplice abuse of corpse charge. She was also arrested in January on a bail jumping charge and a bench warrant. The status of her cases is unknown at the time of publication.

A third person, Ryan Holton, also faces falsifying physical evidence and abuse of corpse charges. He had a status conference on June 10 and has a plea and sentencing hearing, with a capped plea, scheduled for Aug. 31.

Going with the flow in New Hampshire’s Lakes Region – The Boston Globe

Going with the flow in New Hampshire’s Lakes Region – The Boston Globe


As the famous saying goes: “The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.” And as all frequent travelers know: Things never go according to plan.

We thought our timing was perfect for an early summer family getaway to Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire’s Lakes Region. We had three kids in tow, ages 11, 8, and 6, who were unexpectedly out of school one week earlier than most other school districts in New England. What a coup! We’d have the Lakes Region practically to ourselves before the summer crowds and family vacationers arrived.

Located about two hours from Boston, just south of the White Mountains, this picturesque region is dotted with more than 270 bodies of water and surrounded by rolling hills and rural farmlands. Lake Winnipesaukee is its hub and centerpiece. From bustling Meredith on the west side of the lake to quaint Wolfeboro on the eastern edge, there are plenty of activities for a great family vacation around this sparkly blue, 72-square-acre lake, affectionately known as Lake Winni. We thought of picnics on the beach, nature walks, boat rides, maybe a visit to the giant Funspot arcade and a round of mini golf, and, of course, an uncrowded, unhurried visit to Weirs Beach and its lakefront boardwalk. We packed our swimsuits, swimming clogs, and hiking boots, and hit the road.

“Wow, there are a lot of motorcycles on the road,” the 11-year-old said from the backseat. “It’s so loud!” shouted the 6-year-old, as a large group of motorcyclists rumbled past us. Hmm. There were a lot of motorcyclists heading in the same direction that we were. Surprise! It was Laconia Motorcycle Week, the world’s oldest motorcycle rally, celebrating its 103rd anniversary. The eight-day event, centered around the Lakes Region, typically attracts up to 300,000 people. Well, this would change things.

The saving grace turned out to be our choice of lodging, The Steele Hill Resort in Sanbornton, a former dairy farm spread across 500 acres, overlooking Lake Winnisquam with distant views of Lake Winnipesaukee (summer starting room rates $220). Initially, we were a little wary of the location, a bit away from the center of Lake Winni action, about a 30-minute drive to Weirs Beach and the town of Meredith. But we were enticed by the resort’s ultra family-friendly amenities. First, were the accommodations, featuring modern two-bedroom suites, with full kitchens, separate living areas, in-room laundry facilities, and private balconies. Second, were the resort’s extensive facilities, including two outdoor pools with hot tubs and large poolside lounging areas, and two indoor pools including one 30,000-square-foot complex with a large pool and water slide, kiddie pools, and hot tubs. There were playgrounds, outdoor grills and picnic areas, a nine-hole golf course, a fishing pond, laser tag, sports courts, bike rentals, walking trails, and a slew of daily activities that included nature scavenger hunts, arts and crafts, ice cream socials, s’mores, and more. There were also a restaurant and lounge on-site. The fact that the resort was tucked away from the most popular centers turned out to be a lucky choice given that it was Bike Week. It became our welcome oasis during our three-night, four-day getaway.

The days worked into an easy cadence. We’d have breakfast in the suite, spend a couple hours at the pool, and head out for a daily excursion, returning in the afternoon for more pool time, games, and dinner. We deviated one day for breakfast at the quirky and old-fashioned Heritage Farm Pancake House in Winnisquam. It’s a rustic, working sugarhouse and petting farm with pancakes and their own wood-fired maple syrup, fresh eggs, bacon, and sausage served family-style from large platters.

Of course, we went to Weirs Beach early one morning. The Main Street, closed to cars during Bike Week, was clogged with hundreds of motorcycles, and lined with vendors selling T-shirts and biker gear. It made for great people watching, and interesting comments from the kids. Out of the mouths of babes: “There are a lot of people with a lot of tattoos!” “And a lot of old men with beards!” We grabbed fresh squeezed lemonades and walked to the beach, which was blissfully uncrowded.

Bike Week or not, Weirs Beach is known for its honky-tonk, party atmosphere, filled with souvenir shops and casual bars and restaurants. It has a scenic boardwalk with views of Lake Winnipesaukee and is the starting point for a one-hour train ride along Paugus Bay to Lakeport and back. This is also where you can board the historic M/S Mount Washington for a narrated cruise of Lake Winni. It’s a nice way to get on the lake, with lots of history and local lore thrown in.

There was mini-golf (Pirate’s Cove is the best option with courses in Winnisquam and Meredith), a hike up West Rattlesnake Mountain, an easy 1.7-mile or so out and back trek with great views from the top, and a visit to Funspot, holding the Guinness Book of Records title as the largest arcade in the world by number of games, more than 600 at last count. We all had a blast.

“Can we go to the pool?” the kids pleaded on our last day, as we were checking out. We did, and we also stopped for one last vacation activity, a visit to Squam Lakes Natural Science Center, which we thought might be a nice contrast to the arcade, mini-golf, and Weirs Beach activities. We took the self-guided tour along the Live Animal Exhibit Trail, an easy ¾-mile walk through meadows, forests, and marshlands, with hands-on exhibits about local flora and fauna, and views of rescued and rehabilitated black bears, bobcats, river otters, raptors, and more. And it was blissfully quiet and uncrowded.

Our timing wasn’t perfect, but sometimes you just gotta go with the flow and fall into a little luck (looking at you Steele Hill.)

“Look! More motorcycles!” the kids screamed from the back seat. Yep, they were all heading north while we traveled south, heading home. For more information, visit www.lakesregion.org.
