The first day of August is shaping up to be a breezy and hot day with a mostly sunny to partly cloudy sky. Upper level high pressure will keep our rain chances at bay, and help our afternoon high temperatures to climb into the mid 90s to around 103°. So yes... expect it to be warmer than it has been recently. Winds will blow from the south and southwest at 15 to 25 mph by the afternoon with some gusts upwards of 35-40 mph possible as well.

CONCORD, NH (AP) -- The nation's first openly gay Episcopal bishop, New Hampshire's Gene Robinson, today endorsed presidential hopeful Barack Obama.

Robinson says he was lured to Obama's campaign because of the Illinois Democrat's experience with racism and discrimination.

Robinson says he hopes to persuade Obama to embrace marriage for gay and lesbian couples.

Obama supports civil unions and rights for gay couples, but stops short of supporting gay marriage.

Robinson has drawn worldwide criticism from conservatives since his consecration as bishop in 2003.
