They know how to have a Christmas Party they certainly have enough food there. Tomorrow leftovers at their place exactly all right. Vanessa is here with the strange warm weather weve been having and we may have a change, we may not its feeling nothing like winter. It is going to be another opportunity for record breaking warmth on sunday. But tomorrow temperatures will for some. Right now, though, lets start things off with the weather watchers to see where we are now. Its 11 19 on the dot and temperatures are still in the low 60s for some of us. Lets take a look. 61 degrees right now says mr. Strassel. Plenty of clouds there but incredible warmth to be enjoyed this evening or cursed if youre fed up with the warmth. Nonetheless, it is going to be relatively warm day tomorrow. Nothing compare today where we were this afternoon. Victoria says its 51 or excuse me 41 in new york town heights. What the contrast there. Tomorrow it will be cooler and will you still have the clouds . Well still have a chance for showers. Beautiful live picture on a mild night. Its 60 degrees in central park. North winds at 3 miles per hour. The high today was a record setter. 66 degrees. Norm and 2 degrees above the old record in 1982. On the vortex satellite and radar picture the clouds are still relatively thick overhead for many of us and the wet weather is making the exit tonight. Just a little bit of fog and passing rain showers but the brunt of the wet weather for tonight is moving on out. Area of low pressure and a stationary boundary that lingers will mean another opportunity tomorrow for some wet weather. The setup is different. Heres the deal. Overnight patchy fog and passing drizzle. Tomorrow High Pressure builds in from the north. With that cooler air pumps on in and while well have the clouds temperatures will be topping out in the low 50s tomorrow and we will have a chance for showers but best bet will be late in the day. Then on sunday it is the warmer half of your weekend with an approaching cold front. Winds out of the southwest and highs sunday will be record setting again. At least as it looks right now. As you wake up, mainly cloudy and sprinkles and 48 to start by afternoon its 52 degrees. Mainly cloudy tomorrow with a chance of showers. As we make our way into sunday 65 and record warmth with wet weather moving on still. Monday 44 degrees and thats more typical of this season and overnight monday and tuesday maybe a little bit of wintery precipitation for some but it wont stick or pile up and then after that were hovering close to 50 for the duration of your forecast winter will be beginning shortedly . Yes but not necessarily any time soon sort of like a false start yeah, a little hint or dabble. Thats fine with me mark morgan is here with a look at sports the giants are going to have to bundle up for their road trip to minneapolis this weekend.

Mark morgan here with your cbs 2 sports update do you like having the nba on christmas . Yeah, it gives us something to do when youre sick of the fam you eat and watch the nba. In fact, the league played the first Christmas Day game in 1947, one year after the leagues inception. The knicks didnt play today but back then they beat the day and a Christmas Day tradition was born and continues to today. The league featuring the best players every december 25th. The centerpiece game today a rematch of the finals last year. Curry and the warriors facing lebron and the cavaliers. Dra mond green, what a game. Close game in the 4th. Curry bothered by calf problems and he finished with 19 points. Cleveland won six in a row but they were 32 shooting at a team. Lebron james said offensively we didnt have it. That was an air ball for lebron. 25 points and not enough. Warriors win the rematch by six. The pelicans visiting the heat earlier. Anthony davis played 50 minutes. He scored 29 minutes. Thats a putback slam before halftime. This one would go to overtime. Dwayne wade and bosh combined for 13 of their 16 in the extra 19 for wade overall. A game high 30 and miami wins by six. The nba released the first all star voting tally. Carmelo anthony fourth in the voting for the Front Court Players for the eastern conference. Anthony over 132,000 votes but kristof is eighth. Kobe bryant leads all players with over 719,000 votes. Turning to the nfl and the giants face the vikings without beckham. Minnesota is a solid team and the weather could be an issue for this road trip as well. During sunday nights game the teams will endure typical conditions for minneapolis. The vikings are working out in the cold and minnesota residents lacing up the skates. Everything is frozen. The forecast calling for the low to mid teens and not what the giants had experienced thus far this season hoping to come out with a win. Im excited to be here and im going to play a Football Game in the cold i really havent tried to think about that part yet. I know everyone is talking about how cold it is in minnesota. Mentally its all on football. Block it out and get a win any way possible not many people thought the jets would be playing meaningful games in december but they are. Ryan fitzpatrick on what that means to him coming up. With the patriots coming to town the jets are facing a must win. Ryan fitzpatrick having the season of rebirth and Brandon Marshall has become a favorite target. 11 td grabs. Both of these veterans have never been this close to making the playoffs this is a huge one for me, you know. And im excited. This is why everybody in here plays the game. In december and to have a shot at playing longer. Were pretty excited when youre the best basketball player on the planet dissected. Watch this. During the warriors and cavs lebron james. She starts to call him a cry baby and raises her hands to the eyes and shes busted and lowers her hands. Look at her. Oh, no, i wasnt doing anything, king james. How funny is that . He does a double take if youre sitting that close to an nba game in the front row, they can hear you. You got to watch what youre doing. Im just saying keep the hands down. Fact.
