29F feels like 14. Will have 20mph winds with gusts near 40 later today. I don't know how I'm going to survive the winter.

My only solution for surviving this winter is to come down here to South Texas and enjoy the beach weather....it's going to warm back up to a pleasant 90 degrees again by this weekend.

Los Angeles is bracing for a big rainstorm and winter temps this weekend. We're flip-flopping with the rest of the country after temps in the 80s early this week.

I don't know if this counts as weather, but I saw the Northern Lights for the first time last night.  The pink-purple glow was easily visible even from our driveway in the middle of the city.  They say tonight should be even better, and church activities will have us a little farther out of town after dark.

There is about 1.2 inches of rain in the forecast for Fresno between now and midday tomorrow.  I need to leave for Firebaugh in about two hours and I'm sure that I'll be encountering flooded roads.

Cloudy and 46.

We're just a week away from Thanksgiving Eve, and here's how we're looking now:


                                  ACTUAL                            AVERAGE
BROWNSVILLE:        91 high; 74 low                80 high; 64 low
CORPUS CHRISTI:    90 high; 74 low                77 high; 60 low
LAREDO:                  92 high; 73 low                79 high; 58 low
MCALLEN:                94 high; 75 low                80 high; 61 low

We're still feeling some tropical conditions with dew points still in the 70s, so the most of South Texas will continue to see resulting Heat Index in triple-digits; a couple of places near the coast could even see nighttime Heat Index hang around 80 degrees (even after midnight).


While this is 10 to 15 degrees above normal for this time of the year, our Thanksgiving weekend forecast has us cooling back down to a more seasonal conditions for late November with highs between 75 and 80 degrees.

There has been plenty of rain in California so far this season, but not much snow.  At the Central Sierra Snow Lab near Donner Summit:  https://x.com/TahoeWeather/status/1992258768776946089

A very anomalous season so far, with snowfall at only 47% of the 1970-2024 Oct-Nov average, while precipitation is at 107%, thanks to high snow levels with most storms so far this season...

Many nights it has stayed above freezing, so the ski resorts can't manufacture enough snow.  As a result, Mt. Rose along Nevada SR 431 is the only Tahoe-area ski resort open on what's traditionally Opening Weekend, the weekend before Thanksgiving.

It's supposed to remain mild, but dry, for the next several days leading into the Thanksgiving weekend; Weather Underground's forecast high and low at Tahoe Valley Airport on Thursday are 55°F/33°F (average:  47°F/21°F).

Partly sunny and 54.

Currently on the edge of a lake-effect snow band spanning from here to southern Vermont, a distance of about 250 miles.

[ET21]

Our first good snowstorm in 3 years, staying inside all day and watching it unfold.

I'm moving to Australia.

[Ted$8roadFan]

Cloudy and 29. Awaiting precipitation in some form.

[webny99]

A couple inches of snow overnight; now 37 degrees and raining.

[webny99]

-12 F in the Twin Cities area this morning, the coldest air temperature I can recall experiencing since early childhood or perhaps ever.

[Ted$8roadFan]

14 and sunny.

[Max Rockatansky]

I spent the last two nights in Willits on US 101 the last two nights.  Overnight last night there was apparently two inches of rain due to an atmospheric river.  I haven't seen that much rain in such a short window since I was in a tropical depression in the Florida Keys.

Our Holidays forecast as practically a repeat of last year....mild/warm and still tropical-like:  80s for highs on Christmas and 90s for highs on New Years.  Though last Christmas we also saw a lot of rain, this year we're looking at partly cloudy, perfect for a day at the beach and barbecue!  Dew Points around 70 degrees will send our Heat Index in the low 90s this week, and perhaps approaching triple-digits next week to close out the year 2025.  Seasons Greetings everyone!


                                   12/24 Forecast         12/25 Forecast                  AVERAGE
BROWNSVILLE:          86 high; 69 low           87 high; 71 low               73 high; 56 low
CORPUS CHRISTI:      84 high; 69 low           86 high; 70 low               70 high; 52 low
LAREDO:                    87 high; 67 low           89 high; 68 low               68 high; 49 low
MCALLEN:                  88 high; 66 low           91 high; 69 low               73 high; 53 low


DAYTIME HEAT INDEX:  Forecasted around 90 to 95 degrees

If today or tomorrow were Christmas Day we would not have a "White Christmas" according to the National Weather Service definition (1 inch on the ground at 7 a.m.).  It's supposed to start snowing late in the day on Christmas Eve, so we should hit 1 inch by 7 a.m. Thursday.  After that it's supposed to continue rather heavily, with about 2 feet forecast at Lake Tahoe level through Friday morning and much more than that on the surrounding mountains.

A few years ago we got hammered with a Christmas storm that closed all the trans-Sierra passes for something like 48 hours, leaving all the California lowlanders who had come up here stuck here for a couple days.  The first road Caltrans opened was US 50 which is only 2 lanes over the Sierra, and oh man when everybody tried to use that road all at once we had an all-time spectacular case of gridlock.  Fortunately this time, Saturday and Sunday look fairly nice so even if the storm does close the roads those people should be able to get back over the hill by the end of the weekend.

Some of the thickest fog I've seen in Wichita—both this morning and this evening, with a bit of a break from it in the middle of the day.

Some of the thickest fog I've seen in Wichita—both this morning and this evening, with a bit of a break from it in the middle of the day.

December in my area of coastal Texas is very prone to fog; the mornings have probably been foggy for about 2/3rds of this month. I would guess the warm temperatures across the plains are at least somewhat responsible for what you're seeing.

In fact, while I was driving back from college, I ran into some absolutely nasty fog between Houston and Angleton. I didn't feel comfortable going faster than 45 in it.

Currently 73 degrees and sunny here in southeast Missouri, and tomorrow is supposed to be as warm or warmer. We're actually planning on having Christmas dinner outdoors--can't remember ever doing that before for any of my 38 previous Christmases.

[Max Rockatansky]

60F, rainy and flooding in multiple places in Fresno.  The rain is way less worse than last week on the Redwood Highway but it is apparent the road infrastructure here can't handle it.

Had to go back and check with Fort Worth NWS because I remember several weirdly warm Christmases. Online records go back to 2002, which is disappointing because they have official records going back to 1898. The highlights:

In 2004 we had a low of 19 on Santa Day. (By New Year's Eve it was back to 75 for a high.)

Had a trace of precip in 2011. Jeebus' Birthday is typically dry in the Southern Plains. However, in 2012, DFW had officially 0.54 inches of snow, but in the northern burbs we had a borderline blizzard with 9 inches in spots.

Highs 70+ in 2015 and 2018 (thunderstorms over the next few days), 80 in 2016, and 82 in 2021. So yes, counting this Christmas we've had as many abnormally warm ones as seasonable ones (and the only crazy Arctic Blast I remember going back farther was in 1983 and that one stuck around because I remember going to school in it).
