The nypd also plays a role. Do you have a place to sleep tonight . Not yet. Do you need any help . No. Reporter here in cone of concern, officers from the Homeless Outreach unit work the last stop of the n line. The nypd usually goes out on joint operations with brc. Were not looking to go out and take enforcement against them. Obviously, if theres violations well correct those but we want to offer outreach to the homeless. Reporter violations like causing a disturbance or lying down on a platform or train. Others, legally, they can only encourage people to voluntarily accept help. While many dont back in manhattan this man may have made that choice agreeing to an appointment with homeless morning. Andrea grymes, cbs 2 news.

The rain is making its exit so skies wont be clearing per se but well be drying out a bit overnight. So certainly improvement in the forecast but we needed the rain today. Most of us got about an inch and that is excellent news. At present damp and mild 59 in the city, eastnortheast winds at 9 miles per hour. To give you a sense of 59 degrees the normal high today is 42. So we were well above that and for the months so far the average temperature of is 14. 5 degrees above normal. In fact, it would be very challenging at this point for us not to set a new record for the warmest december on record. Right now, its held at 44. 1 degrees as the average temperature so far this month. 52 degrees is the average temperature and while we have some very cold air that will be diving in for the weekend, next week is looking well above average again, with temperatures in the 60s around christmas day. Christmas day could also be in the 60s. So this weekend seasonably cold air after that back to abnormally warm.

A little bit of drizzle, fog out there. Then toward tomorrow morning clouds. But overall mainly cloudy day with breaks of sun and there could be a few stray showers that impact eastern long island tomorrow. But overall, tomorrow generally a dry day with skies clearing through the Late Afternoon and then the cold air starts diving in tomorrow, as well. So watch what happens 4 a. M. Saturday morning. See this . This is a suggestion of a few light snow showers for areas north and west of the city overnight friday into early saturday. But certainly nothing significant looking to fall. Just a little bit of a feeling of the season if you will. Tonight, 49 degrees the overnight low. An early chance of showers still until about 7, 8 00. Then we have fog and drizzle. Then through the day tomorrow temperatures will be cooler, 51. This happens early in the day through the afternoon as skies clear. Well see temperatures dropping off. So getting cold for your weekend but its where we should be. Friday night into saturday, 32 degrees is your overnight low. Early saturday again maybe a few snow showers for areas north and west of the city. As we make our way into saturday morning, but no big deal. Saturday afternoon the high is just 41 degrees. It will be breezy, as well. It is going to feel like the 30s out there and compared to where we have been its going to be incredibly cool. Sunday 46 and breezy. After that, temperatures continue to climb into the 50s and even 60s for next week. I just tell maurice we could grill our vegetables for christmas dinner. Might, as well. Break out the barbecue.
