mild winter week, but nothing crazy like last week's 78°F. Relatively stable, could be wrong but this winter feels more variable than usual. Well the sudden drop to chilly tomorrow and then back to mild isn't stable, wonder what's causing the back and forth? will check later
and last week. Besides the heat [warmest winter da on record], it got much more humid while the ridge was over us, fast overnight decline after the hottest day, followed by light snow and a warm up today. You can see that both mornings of the warm days had fog that took a while to clear
Celsius for the foreigners:

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that because we been on the edge of the ridge we're getting the fronts to move back and forth. Hence the clouds, the rain, and the ability to bring in cold like yesterday or draw up warmth like today..
Let me know if you find anything out. Do we rarely get this setup? More likely in March, not February "I THINK". Not sure but would explain why it feels different.
"High pressure over the western Atlantic remains in control today as a slow moving cold front approaches from the west. The cold front moves through tonight, stalling to the south on Thursday. A series of lows and frontal boundaries will impact the area late in the week and through the weekend. High pressure builds early next week. A warm front approaches the region into tonight. A frontal system will affect the region with a low along the warm front moving across on Sunday."

Here is Texas. We were in the 70's and then the 30's all day and then 40's and then today in the 70's. Dallas is in the 40's they are north of the front and Houston in the 80's south of the front. It has been a see saw in Austin but Houston has been on the warm sector and Dallas on the cold sector most of the time.
Yes it's because we are on the cusp of the front.
