yeah the next few weeks look pretty boring in the weather world, but winter is just getting started, getting a good laugh reading folks comments all over social media saying our winter is over just because we are entering a warmer pattern, looks like a SSWA takes place in about a week, meaning sometime after January 15th or so its going to get cold around here again
Edit: These 70’s for highs are going to suck big time!

Today, I sat outside on my patio, overlooking the pool, wearing shorts and a T-shirt. It was glorious. Not too hot, and not too cold. Can’t understand why anyone would complain about that. I’ll take this over freezing weather or over heat waves anytime! Happy New Year!
Because 70’s for highs and lows in the upper 50’s to low 60’s is spring weather not winter IMO, absolutely disgusting lol, this warm up cant be gone soon enough

I don’t care what the calendar says, it’s pleasant outside and I’ll take it no matter what month it is. Enjoy it while it lasts.

I think a lot of us prefer to experience 4 seasons but unfortunately southeast TX isn’t the place for that.

Well, we have have 5 conditions, but they dont follow any schedule really.
Pea soup
Blast furnace and bone dry
Cold and nasty
Cold and dry
Absolutely disgusting weather. NWS has the city hitting 80F today, 79 on New Years, and 78 on Jan. 2. I’ve lived here for 45 years, and there is absolutely nothing normal about us being in the 80s/near 80 for so many days in December and into January. Not saying it’s never happened, but it’s definitely not the norm or something to be expected here.
Remember where we live at... Our proximity to the Gulf makes it hard to stay cold for long here.Its a constant battle during the winter between cold air advection from cold fronts and the warm moist air from the Gulf.You're gonna have warm ups during the winter its just the way it is here.

I might hit 80 this week absolutely garbage
It's absolutely wonderful!! It would be much nicer if it were a bit dryer, but warm I better than what we had at last weekend!!
I believe for your average person (someone who’s not really passionate and crazy about the weather), this weather would suit them just fine. Others, like myself, find it very boring.

I don't mind the temps, but 70°F dewpoint is for Miamians. There's nothing comfortable about it. At least tomorrow will have a lower DP. this is about the only early winter (late Dec, early Jan) day I can ever remember here with this level of water vapor in the air.
70s in air temp, yes. 70°DP, no. Unfortunately, I had to turn on the A/C.
