Lightning and Fire and Outages, Oh My!
Thursday was a crazy weather day in Bedford, but things are looking up. Here are 5 things, including today's forecast, that you should know today.
1. Crazy weather. Lightning, heavy rains and scattered flash flooding plagued southern New Hampshire Thursday. While a lightning strike is suspected of causing a fire that left a Bedford condo with heavy smoke and heat damage, there were also other similar instances and hundreds of power outages in nearby communities.
2. The sun will come out ... today! After some more showers in the morning, the afternoon is likely to clear up as today's forecast calls for a 30-percent chance of rain with a forecasted high of 71 degrees and an overnight low of 52 degrees with partly cloudy skies.
3. In good spirits. There is a free spirit tasting event featuring Familia Camarena Reposado and Silver from 4:30-6:30 p.m. at the NH Liquor & Wine Outlet at 5 Colby Court, Bedford. Hosted by E&J Gallo.
4. On the silver screen. Want to get one last visit in to the Milford Drive In before it closes for the season? There are just two weekend left, with closing day being Sept. 21. Go back to the 80s this weekend with a double feature of Back to the Future and Jaws on one screen, or catch movies from this summer, Riddick and 2 Guns, on the other screen. Shows are Friday and Saturday and start at dusk.
5. Bulldogs' Bites. The following is a schedule of today's Bedford High School athletics events (from HighSchoolSports.net):
