Ehhh, not really. Hi-res models have it mainly north and east of us.

The NAM is the only one showing anything of significance but that’s not really the most reliable model.

I sure would like to split the difference between our Christmas Eve weather and today's. 60 degree temperature diff and rising.

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!

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.

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 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.
