New York Weather: 12/24 Tuesday Afternoon Forecast

Merry Christmas Eve! Whether you're waiting for Santa to visit, doing some last-minute shopping, or celebrating the third night of Chanukah, we're in great shape across the Tri-State Area.

Expect bright skies this afternoon with temps about 10 degrees cooler than yesterday... in the mid-40s, which is still above average.

Mostly clear skies overnight and seasonally cold, as temps dip into the low 30s by sunrise in NYC. It's looking like a bright and calm Christmas Day as well, with temps once again in the mid-40s.

Our next shot at any precip looks to be Friday, although it's not looking very impressive right now... perhaps some scattered showers.
