South Padre Island will be in the 70s with lows in the 60s
I've seen that in central NC, in February:
Sunrise it'd be 25 F warming up to 58 F by afternoon.

Or another day with 35 F at sunrise, at 70 F midday, cooling back to 59 F 20 minutes before sunset, back down to low 50's F minutes after sunset, and back under 45 F about 1-2 hours after sunset.

I think what helps cause this is extremely light to no winds, very clear sky conditions day and night, perhaps a very strong high pressure as well as fast draining soil, so the ground is nearly bone dry everywhere for at least a few days.

*Looks like San Antonio is getting some of the "cold" that were getting, since I hear your coldest monthly high is about 62 F.
(Toronto's Easter forecast is just as cold as our average Christmas weather)

72*right now and should warm up to mid 70's. Tomorrow will be close to 80*.

Our valleys and deserts get like that also. Palmdale/Lancaster was 74* for a high and 37* for a low yesterday.

Botev, this is not right. Seattle should not have the same weather as SoCal. It's 69* and partly cloudy with 47% humidity and 13mph winds.

what are you talking about. It's 86F in LA and 80F in SD. When it is hot in LA then it is warm in Seattle
