variety, i have readings as low as 42 in the hudson valley, some 50s, 54, 56 somewhat exceptional there, i do love these pictures, we've got flowers in the backyard, everything is in bloom! this is from behind the courthouse, beautiful what's going on, is it april? it's been so warm this guy is like, the critters are all, we're going to take a look at interesting stats, for the month and just a second, right now get you up to speed in the city, it is 51 and sunny, i know. and reporting too that east wind is bringing in a few clouds, 43 to 51 on our map these numbers compared to yesterday, yeah, it is cooler 5 to 10 degrees cooler than it was yesterday, still we're at 51 now, shooting for 52, above normal, in fact above normal, it is a sweep.

above normal, how much above normal? we had 6 and 60 plus degrees day in a row, 70 over the weekend, 23 tied or broken records this month on average, it's been 12.1 degree above normal. who is counting? well above normal what's below normal, deficit for rain almost 11 inches, 10.85. chance to make up that tonight into tomorrow. clouds are taking over, there is the front area of low pressure trailing front all the way down to the gulf, here is what it means for you and me, there is a chance for a light rain or drizzle and fog with higher dew points and cooler morning temperatures, tomorrow morning some scattered showers some roadways will be wet, sidewalks will be a little damp but then into the afternoon, that's when we see more widespread rain and a brief period of heavy rain pushing through the area, this wraps up

affiliated with that front that's a cold front so then finally, we have a day that feels like december, with wind chills in the 30s on saturday, 44 on sunday, look middle part of next week we're right back well above normal again. actually be january before it starts feeling like december. yeah. i don't want to say anymore than that. thanks. so when we come back it is

we'll explain next. i'm chris bosh. when i was sidelined with blood clots in my lung, it was serious. fortunately, my doctor had a game plan. treatment with xarelto . hey guys! hey, finally, somebody i can look up to... ...besides arnie. xarelto is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. xarelto is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there's limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke.

but the blood testing and dietary restrictions... don't get me started on that. i didn't have to. we started on xarelto . nice pass. safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto may increase your sk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto , watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. you know xarelto is the #1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. that's a big win. it is for me. with xarelto there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary strictions. treatment with xarelto . ...was the right move for us.

. the count down to the new year's eve celebration is on. >> three, two, one! yeah! the giant 1 and 6 arrived in time's square giving revellers a chance for photos after a few days the numbers will be hoisted up to their spot at the top of one time square, light up at the end of the new year's eve ball. >> another good photo opportunity coming up tonight on cbs 2 news beginning at 5:00, a warning at wi-fi toys that could be getting your kid's information at risk. artifacts from 9/11 have been sitting in a warehouse all these years but now these pieces of history have a new home for all to see. those stories much more tonight on cbs 2 news beginning at 5:00. santa claus swapped his
