News 12 Long Island meteorologist Rich Hoffman said the warm weather could last for the next week.

The clouds should stay away tonight for a clear sky with a low temperature near 59 degrees, according to the Weather Service.

Those temperatures are about 10 to 20 degrees higher than normal for this time of year, ABC57 said.

The new record of 64 degrees set yesterday broke the previous December 8 high of 57 degrees reached in 1979 and 2004.

The temperatures for November were above average and the trend continues into the month of December with no real expectation of winter in sight. On Sunday, the chance for rain is 90 percent.

More sunshine with some breaks of clouds and rain will be the norm for a couple of weeks
