Temperatures soared into the mid- and upper 60s today. If it felt really warm, that’s because it was, for December. The day’s average high is 49 in the city, so the high of at least 67 is nearly 20 degrees above normal. It will stay warmer than normal tonight and tomorrow. It will be a little cooler tomorrow than today, but a record high is in play, anyway.

       Record watch: Tomorrow’s record high will be in play, partly because it’s the lowest record high of the year, as NBC’s Chuck Bell notes below. It’s 64, set back in 1984.
