>> now, meteorologist hayley lapoint and your forecast. hayley: a very festive look at claremont with christmas lights across the center of town. clouds overhead. today was rather gloomy. claremont might have seen sunshine. in portsmouth, we were stuck with a lot of clouds. even the tugboat getting in on the christmas light action, very cool. look at the temperatures today. well above average. this has been a long stretch where we have had high temperatures above the average

we were well above that in today in places like concord, manchester, nashua got to 51. fort smith 49 earlier today -- portsmouth 49 earlier today. mid 40' s in the anne arundel ask -- in the monadnocks. 45 in laconia. this was a long stretch of weather where we have had temperatures above average. we will continue that tomorrow. we only had one day, december 1, where we had temperatures below the average high. the rest of the month, we have been well above average with instances in the 50' s. patriots fans. tonight. the temperature there, 51 degrees right now. only a couple of degrees shy of where we are in manchester now.

that is -- houston is behind the cold front, so temperatures cooler than what they would usually be seeing this time of year. in the meantime, we have clouds filling in. eventually, heavy rain will be moving toward us. you have a line of rain showers moving across northern vermont. even snow showers in northern vermont. these are going to scoot across northern new hampshire in the next few hours. with rain showers, there is the threat for freezing rain. the national weather service has issued a freezing rain advisory northern coos county and parts of maine until noon monday. it may be slick early tomorrow morning in far northern new hampshire. by 10:00 tonight, there might be sprinkles even for berlin. north is where the is the threat

across the rest of the state at gloomy. there might be drizzle. when we get to the evening rain moves in. there will be downpours monday system rolls through. it is needed rainfall. some of us could use it. 30' s north. 40' southern part of the state overnight. tomorrow, we will start with temperatures in most locations in the 30' s. we will climb into the 40' s through the day. the school day forecast, mostly cloudy with rain becoming more widespread throughout the day. probably drizzle early on. after tuesday, we start to see temperatures come down. next weekend, highs in the 30' s.

hayley: still too early to tell. we will have to keep a watch on that. it is possible. there are a couple of systems. jason: everybody is thinking about one word, gronk. the patriots play in primetime tonight against the texans in texas. the pats could get a boost from the return of rob gronkowski, who is expected to play tonight. new england will be without linebacker dont' a hightower. he did not make the trip to texas. the scenarios for the patriots were the same as last week, they could clinch the division with a win and a jets loss. there are also scenarios where they could simply clinch a playoff spot. keep your eyes out for londonderry' s ryan griffin, he' s a tight end for the texans. having a great year since he returned from injury. gametime tonight is 8:30. as for the jets, they had the titans at home. brandon marshall is left second quarter, uncovered on the far sideline, ryan fitzpatrick sees it, the result is a 69-yard touchdown. 27-0 jets.

they improved to 8-5 so that means the pats will not clinch the division title tonight. the bills were in philly with chip kelly and the eagles. second quarter, tied 7-7. sam bradford passes to nelson agholor for the 53-yard touchdown. the eagles go on to win 23-20. they are now 6-7 and tied with washington for the nfc east division lead. steelers and bengals. andy dalton is picked off. injured his thumb. return. he came back to the sideline with a cast. it is a broken thumb. his replacement picked off, touchdown. the steelers win 23-20. that is huge for the patriots because it opens the door for the top spot in the afc.

the bruins and celtics are both off today, the celtics will host cleveland on tuesday night, the bruins are home with edmonton on monday. the monarchs and thunder at the afternoon. no score in the seventh. good goaltending at both ends. a great chance at the other end, but turned away by drew fielding. the thunder get behind the defense. he had 32 saves. still scoreless. he gets off a great shot. but fielding up to the task. he made 30 saves. the board. that made it 1-0. adirondack wins 2-0 final. >> generally, we were tired.

play. we just did not bury our chances. >> 3-3, a sunday coming off a long road trip. i tried to get into the game early. i knew it would be hs match -- chess match. the boys played well in front of me. the came down to one shot. jason: still to come tonight the , winter meetings wrapped up in nashville this week and sox manager john farrell is ready to tt2w`tsi`r$# bt@q];\ tt2w`tsi`r$# "a@qm78 tt2w`tsi`r$# bm@qf
