well, we had a very mild christmas week. >> we did. >> new year's week is going to be the same or a little bit more winter-like? >> a little bit more winter- like, especially north and west of the city tomorrow night. i think tomorrow during the daylight hours, we'll absolutely find no weather worries and it'll be a cooler

this time tomorrow night, there will be some rain and sleet areas north and west. there could be some slippery and treacherous roads even for the tuesday morning commute as you head along and north of i- 84. as we head outside right now, skies are clearing out for the empire state building. the visibility was cooler earlier. 48 degrees, that temperature tumbling now, the wind coming in from the west at 14, gusting up to 21 miles per hour, that's after a cold front moved on by, the region earlier this evening. still getting down to the jersey shore. it got up to 61 earlier this evening, just two degrees off the record high that was set back in 1949. still, the average high is around 40 this time of the year so we were a full 21 degrees above that. much cooler tomorrow, it'll be near average, around 40 degrees, increasing clouds after some early sunshine. rain coming in tomorrow night for new york city and the coast, may mix initially with a little bit of sleet at the very onset of the storm but it

areas north and west a different story though. freezing rain and sleet can lead to icy spots, north and west of i-287 tomorrow night and tuesday morning, areas well north staying in the wintry mix before going to rain. temperatures falling into the 30s in places like monticello, 34 there, low 50s on the island, upper 40s on the jersey shore where you're getting a couple of showers over ocean county with that cold front pressing off to the south. the big story is the cooler air coming in behind it. you see by early tomorrow morning, 7:00 in the morning, temperatures around 40 in the city, closing to freezing areas north and west. i think we wake up to some sunshine. actually, sunshine for much of the morning and then the clouds really start lowering and thickening in the afternoon. 5:00 p.m., temperatures in the upper 30s in the city, still around freezing toward newberg and that's important because as that participation moves on in tomorrow night, we're well above freezing in the city and along the coast. that means even if we do get a

sleet mixing in with the rain, it's not going to accumulate or cause any road problems in and around the city. it's a different story north and west where you have temperatures, if anything, falling to 30, tuesday morning, the heavier precipitation moves in, in the form of freezing rain and sleet. that rain line finally moves pretty far off to the north tuesday morning, probably around i-84 before everything comes to an end tuesday morning and everyone rising above the freezing mark. cooler than recent nights definitely, clouds breaking, 39, down to the lower and middle 30s in many suburbs. sun giving way to afternoon clouds, much cooler tomorrow, 41. rain arrives tomorrow night, possibly mixed with a couple of ice pellets in the city, but a freezing rain and sleet only down to 38 in midtown manhattan. the rain tapering off by mid- afternoon tuesday, afternoon rain again on wednesday, 52. doesn't look like a heavy rain

mild mix of sun and clouds on new year's eve. in the 40s for the ball drop and doesn't get out of the 40s friday, saturday and sunday. so a cooler start to 2016. notice, i didn't mention snow. it's going to be mainly freezing rain and sleet for the areas north and west. >> thank you, jeff. good day or bad day, depending on if you're a jets fan or giants fan. >> it's a tale of two xreems. extremes. what everyone will be talking about tomorrow is a coin toss. that coin toss led to this. the jets did their best to put away the rival patriots and

driving machine. it's just something else to talk about with this rivalry, right? >> we needed something else to talk about. we got it. when the jets and patriots meet, there's always something to talk about.

today's game at the meadowlands will add to the legend. gang rein trying to keep their hopes alive. it was a big day for brandon marshall who would set the jets' record for receptions in a season and had a pair of touchdowns. patriots trying to get back in this one. fitzpatrick, the fumble, tries to scoop it up. 17-13. the jets held tom brady and company in check until late in the fourth. james white easily getting it in to tie the game to put it into overtime. a bizarre moment in the overtime. they elect to kick. they said they did want to start on defense. that was their plan. that was a mistake because the jets got the first shot and capitalized. fitzpatrick to eric decker, that ended. 26-20, the jets win, still in the wildcard hunt, perhaps thanks to a confusing coin flip. >> once they said they wanted

say, no, no, we want to receive. so i thought there was a big miscommunication there. >> nothing surprises you about the patriots and strategy and what they think so we were excited for the opportunity to get the ball and to have the chance to put them away. >> well, the jets then needed the steelers or the chiefs to lose. pittsburgh against the ravens. rough day for the pittsburgh offense. ben roethlisberger gets picked off twice. he had no touchdown passes. in the 4th quarter of a tight game, baltimore led the whole way and allen extended the lead with that run. the jets are currently in the playoffs' picture. the giants dwindling in the nfc east title hopes came to a swift end last night as the redskins beat the eagles to clinch the division ensuring big blue will not make the playoffs. tonight, new york had nothing to play for except to try to act as spoiler for minnesota's postseason hopes. here's how it's gone so far,

eli manning threw three interceptions and the vikings are rolling. it's 32-10 in the 4th quarter. yikes. peyton manning has not played a middle of november and still had to face tough questions today after reports he useded growth hormones. a former intern pharmacist at the clinic in indiana says manning was given hch in 2011 after his neck surgery. that pharmacist has recanted his story saying basically he lied. manning vehemently now denying the initial allegations. >> disgusted it really how i feel, sickened by it, that i'm not sure i understand how someone can make something up about somebody. and then admit he made it up. and yet somehow it gets published in a story. >> we have much more ahead in sports. when we return, the new york- new england rivalry moving from
