This is the 28th day of above-normal temperatures. Normal highs for this time of year are in the upper 30s. Normal lows are the upper 20s.
Forecasters say enjoy the balmy temperatures while they last, because the January heat wave won't be around for long.
A cold front is moving into the area sometime tonight, but highs should still reach the low to middle 50s on Sunday.
But then temperatures start to slide, and more seasonable weather will be upon us by Wednesday, with highs only reaching the upper 30s.
The current mild weather in the region is largely due to conditions caused by El Nino. Experts say it's a cyclical warming trend now under way in the Pacific Ocean, which can lead to milder weather, particularly in the Northeast. Many weather observers have also blamed global warming for the higher temperatures.
