I had to, it was way colder than the NWS expected (And I kinda did not expect that either). Lol
Looks like an 80 degree Christmas is confirmed more and more every day.

It’s been a little cool but I think it’s time for some grilling weather this week as it warms up. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!
Not sure I’ve ever seen a map like this:
Looks like a solid week of 80s beginning Thursday or Friday. We have enough A/C humming and emptying my pocketbook days in Texas.
Having to put down another dose of pre-emergence. May be too late. Weeds are sprouting weeks early.
Cooked a BBQ chicken on the egg tonight. I think I will be cooking something outside for the foreseeable future. Might even have to heat the pool for a swim party on Christmas.
We really haven't had cold temps during daylight hours yet. No impediment for BBQ'ing.
Wind shift this morning. Already feels like 70°F in the sun.

Update from Jeff is below. Pretty much the same story from Space City Weather too.
If you like cold weather…hopefully you enjoyed the last few days…a great warm up is in store and will last likely through the end of 2021.
Air mass is starting to modify behind the cold front that moved across the area on Saturday. With high pressure now moving east of the area southerly winds are starting to return which will yield increasing warmth and humidity starting today and lasting well into next week. With an upper level ridge over Baja building out of MX and into TX and the southern US over the next several days any hopes of cold air intrusions from the north are zero. Instead southerly winds will bring back a warming Gulf air mass and by late week and into this weekend we face near record/record highs yet again…a theme so far this winter and especially this December.
With upper level ridging in full control expect little in the way of rainfall just the daily cycle of lows in the 60’s to near 70 by late week and highs in the low 80’s with gusty southerly winds. Pattern will carry over into all of next week with warm conditions remaining in place likely through the end of 2021.

BahumbugSo depressing. Just officially hit start of winter and it feels like start of summer.
Well I guess the #1 spot is in play. Complete disgusts. I don’t want 10 degrees on Christmas at all, but 50-60.. is that to much to ask?

Well, it is meteorology, so it has its ups and downs. Second, it is still early winter, so much is still in play moving on. Third, it did get really cold February 2021. Hang on, it might get interesting in 2022.

I'm now expecting Highs in the mid-80s on Christmas Eve
It's climate and weather.

Not an either/or. CO2 and methane are way up...and I measured CO2 directly with a Scholander system back in the 80s. 330 ppm. Try 430 ppm today.
I've been in Texas for 30 years. Hurricanes are stronger. Severe season is earlier in the Spring and more prominent in the Fall. Precipitation and temp extremes more common. I've been measuring precip. temps IMBY for awhile. Texas is a state of extremes...but when biblical becomes the new normal...
Buckle up.
It’s three data points out of others that we see month after month. It’s not just these three data points. It’s yet another example out of a growing mountain of cumulative evidence.
The NOAA climatological normals have increased every time the 20-year updates are calculated and published. That’s climate.
I do happen to know the difference
