Livingston Sees 'Record-Breaking' Warm Christmas: Local Weekend Weather Forecast Says Rain Possible

Maybe global warming has its benefits, Livingston.

While we’re just kidding about that statement, the unseasonably warm winter holiday season this year may be one for the books.

According to a National Weather Service advisory issued on Thursday morning:

“Record-breaking warm temperatures are likely with highs in the lower 70s in the NYC metro… and 60s elsewhere.”

The NWS continued:

“Behind the cold front somewhat drier air will move in, keeping much of Christmas Day dry. The chances of more wet weather will increase during Christmas night into Saturday. Record warmth is likely to continue through Christmas Day. Somewhat cooler temperatures are likely for Saturday. However temperatures will remain well above normal into the weekend.”
