Wow, big. Story I have one thing to say about yesterday's weather yeah. We. Have to get some cushioning, for Santa forget about that warm where they get in toward the holiday season we go outside feeling, a little bit raw a little bit muggy out there but certainly not like winter just yet boroughs I know bridge and we have some low clouds and fog and just some spotty drizzle to deal with at the 11, o'clock hour temperatures, are working through the lower 50s humidity. Of course on the high side and right now our barometer is, on the fall we've got that gentle breeze coming off the water making it feel a bit damp 63. We did break a record today that was just after midnight that record set back in 1982, so, here's your new record normally, we should be 46, we won't even go down to that for a low temperature tonight rainfall first measurable, in December, not very impressive 100th of an inch the Sun will come up at 7:05, you won't see that sunrise so maybe the sunset at 429. We lose one minute of daylight broken. Records this week Thursday Friday, Saturday most. Impressive, on Friday 74. Degrees that's the all-time, warmest, temperature, in December.

Since We've been keeping records over 200, years well, tonight we've back in that marine layer the cool northeast with this happened if you remember back on Monday, and then we broke back into the warm air again and that's what we're gonna try to do over the next 24, hours is get on this side of the front that's where temperatures, are really toasty, right now we're in that marine layer water temperatures, are in the 50s that's what our temperatures, for the most part right now although north of the working, into the 40s but look at the warm air mass to the south 58, to 66 degrees, that, should be our afternoon, temperatures, tomorrow again much warmer, to the south and west of New York and especially by Monday you're really into that toasty, breeze the air again dampen. A little drizzly tonight about 48, the front is still over us early tomorrow morning, so you'll wake up it'll probably still be murky and then temperatures will have a wide range tomorrow, depending on where the front lifts up it'll be just to our north tomorrow afternoon. Meaning coastal, areas will stop, in the 50s stubborn, cloud cover it'll be a mix in the city you'll probably get to 60 62 while, inland, numbers where we get the Sun in the afternoon you, go as high as the, middle 60s it'll be very nice football. Tomorrow Jets playing the Seahawks the Meadowlands Spence we'll tell you more about that in a second I'll say about the weather involved, 60, degrees at kickoff partly. Sunny much cooler out west in Tempe Arizona 55. Degrees where the Giants are playing the Cardinals here's my Accuweather Forecast temperatures. For us by tomorrow morning 48 degrees clouds, and fog looking, drizzly, not much hope but then it gets brighter in the afternoon, 60. That's an average temperature 50s, on the coast mid 60s, inland mild, tomorrow night we don't even drop below 50, and then look at the five-day 67. Record warmth on Monday, rain, comes on Tuesday and all of a sudden we may be turning the corner for Wednesday and Thursday getting, back into the 40's for daytime high so Monday is the day to play.

We talked about football I get excited it was a fantastic, day for college football and let's begin you know it was Bill as the hurricane bowl UCLA, and Miami were originally scheduled to play way, back in September, but Hurricane George postponed, it of course until today fittingly, the hurricane, Bowl will be remembered as one of the wildest, college football games ever both teams get, this nearly seven hundred yards of offense and in the end Miami, Hurricanes, blow away UCLA's, national, title hopes it was a while when let's take you down there to the Orange Bowl rest, not on the plans for either one of these teams both could use them though after the track meet UCLA.

Was Down four at the half but came back to score 21, unanswered Port in the third Cade, McNown, to Brian poly Dixon 61. Yards McNown, finished with 5 TD trying, to close the gap Miami, comes back scott covington finds, Santana, Moss here, of 71, yard pitch in catch for a touchdown UCLA. Hanging. Onto just a three point lead each team, scored again made it 45, 42, then, Miami, gets a break McNown, hits, brad melsby here, for a big gainer, but melsby is stripped by Delvin, Brown now Miami recovers, and was back in business but on the second look here it looks like mill B's knee is down which, means UCLA, should retain possession at least that's what Todd Bob, Toledo was thinking anyway covington then he had three different receivers, to get him down to the one-yard line and the rest was up to this guy right here Edgerton James, who punched it in for a one-yard touchdown they, are finished with 299. Yards but, UCLA, has one last chance can't help but thinking about Flutie, in 84, but, McNown held Mary Pass goes out in the end zone along, with the Bruins hopes of a national title 49. To 45, Miami, wins, it so now Kansas, State who looked to be the odd man out in the Bowl Championship Series, gets, new life and blew it pictures, worth a thousand words as the TWA, don't scoreboard posted, the news that fans were waiting for all world, quarterback, Michael Bishop gave, him more reason to believe finds Darnell McDonald here for a big gainer 66. Yards and the touchdown had, him up 17, 3 trying. To put the clock out under three minutes to play Bishop, gets careless with the ball and he's gonna lose it and that would come back to haunt the Wildcats because the Aggies are upset, minded, AMM, came back and scored and you're gonna see sir Parker, he was big tonight, put him within 2 then, they got 2 points on the conversion to tie it up to send it into overtime both, teams got field goals there in the second session it's, that guy again sir Parker, makes it to the corner touches, the flag and that's the ballgame anm plays the spoiler gets the win and the big 12 title and, in Atlanta, Mississippi, State Bulldogs it, came with a little bit of bite but the number one Tennessee, Bunch was too strong tmartn, through, q touchdowns, late in the 4th to lead Tennessee, to a 24 14 win and a berth in the national championship, game in the Fiesta Bowl and they're dancing about it most likely by the way that's gonna be against Florida, State and down in Philly it was the renewal of one of sports great rivalries, army versus, Navy, let's take you and show you some of the pageantry, cadets, in the Midshipmen about, to see the highest scoring game in the series history turning.
