such a bonus to go, last december was warm but it was wet last christmas. >> mm-hmm. >> that was just incredible yesterday and the day before to have have a couple of days like that, and we're going to trend back towards average eventually but the 50 degree days in december, now, this is going down unprecedented in terms of this december, mostly related to el nino, el nino is very warm and that warmth getting pumped in to the atmosphere because of the way the jet stream fluctuates, ends up making us fairly warm, so we've had 18 days above 50, 50 or higher, some above 60, obviously and that breaks the record set back in 1953 and will probably have, could have another one today and maybe tomorrow, then they think more typical temperatures. i don't think we're going to see a day like we saw yesterday in that's it. so cooler weather today, but still mild, rain tomorrow morning, so if you have outdoor plans tomorrow morning, if you're going to do something

in the day or just cancel it all together and then tuesday morning, another storm. so we got two storms, this one's wet, this one's white, too wet, so remains to be seen just how much snow we get here on tuesday morning but it's going to be a messy commute, i think especially coming in from route 2 in the city of boston, points farther south may end up with rain, that rain snowline tricky and of course it's the first storm of the season, so, you know, all of us forecasters are kind of honing our winter skills, aren't need -- haven't needed them much, 46 boston, 37 norwood, nobody is below freezing this morning and everybody in the 40s here this afternoon, there will be a blend of clouds and sunshine at times, the sun will come out, other times mostly cloudy but we're not going to see any precipitation today and a wind off the water so we'll feel, have more of a raw feel to the air, now tomorrow that rain in the morning, temperatures in the afternoon pushing towards 50, i think some of you who are especially north of the pike as

hampshire, it's actually going to remain chilly all day long, temperatures in the 40s so hour by hour we go, high pressure pushing off shore and here comes a warm front and that is going to bring in the rain, and then here's our next storm system back here, and that's coming in for tuesday so we do have a couple of storms on the way and as i said, the second one could bring some white stuff the first time we've really seen any snow for some of you, not everybody. so there you go, 50s today and tomorrow, the actual weekend and then look at that, back to the 30s and 40s, so not really that cold but unsettled for sure, over the next seven days. carrie? >> yeah, looks unsettled. all right, thank you t dave. an arson investigation is underway this morning at the former home of president bill clinton, he spent the first four years of his life there. the building in hope, arkansas is designated a national historic site. clinton's grandparents owned the home. las vegas ka sin why -- casinos now want the city to
