5 straight nights where your morning low is warmer than your average high

Tomorrow will be at least the third time this month we have threatened the all time December high ? which is 80 
Does anyone know if the west (California) is setting snow records for December? I can’t recall ever seeing such model weenie snow from the GFS usually it’s about drought? I heard even the low elevations will have a white Christmas too. @Webberweather53
What's really crazy about these departures is that they're based off the new 1991 - 2020 average temps, which had already seem a decent tick upward from the previous 30-year averages.
Today looks to overachieve by a few degrees. Currently 76*F at DFW.

Appears BNA will end up with an average mean temperature of 50+ this December. The only other years that has happened is 1889 (56.4), 1931 (50.2), 1956 (50.2), and 2015 (53.1) *** averaged 49.6 in Dec 1984, just before the hammer dropped in Jan '85.
1889-90 & 1931-32, January & February continued the exceptionally warm, with very cold air in early March. 2015-16 was followed by a major January snowstorm in much of middle TN, with winter cutting off just after Valentine's Day. We are currently sitting at 50.7 through the 22nd; with the remainder of the month's expected very warm conditions, wondering if it could bump it up to 2015 for 2nd warmest ever.

It's not often that we're warmer tham Miami at Christmas time. Highs there will only be in the upper 70s.
Much of OK and TX is also under a moderate to severe drought, which I'm sure is aiding in this feedback loop of warm temps.
Not much chance for improvement either in the forseeable future...

It will also be interesting to see if a site in Texas records 90*F during this period.
It won't help that the warmest temps aloft will be moving through overnight Friday evening / Saturday morning, versus during peak heating.

Sad, sad times.
Interestingly enough, DFW's record high of 80°F for Christmas Day was set just in 2016.
That said, the record high for Christmas Eve (88°F set in 1955) is safe.

I believe the day after Christmas record is from 2015... The same day as the Garland Rowlett tornado. I remember how it felt like spring that day
Down to 31 outside. Chilly out there
30 this morning. I sure am getting a decent amount of freezes for such a crappy weather month.

Same here in Colfax. I believe our avg min for Dec will be much closer to normal than our max.
