About 200 temperature records in the US may be broken over the next several days as warm air across Texas and the south-east is predicted to bring spring or even summer-like conditions, making Christmas Day likely to be the warmest in 50 to 100 years in some areas.
The temperatures could make this the warmest December on record for many cities in the region including Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, St Louis, Kansas City and Chicago.

In some areas, records have already been broken:
Wichita Falls in Texas (I usta buy a shitload of really good, really cheap Mexican weed there back in the 70's) hit 91 Friday, and Grandfield, Oklahoma, reached 89.
Both beat their Fourth of July high – back at in the middle of summer. Nor were they alone. “Dallas, Houston, Oklahoma City and Tulsa, Oklahoma, Little Rock, Arkansas, and Memphis, Tennessee, all stand to match or top the record high for 25 December this Saturday,” AccuWeather senior meteorologist Brett Anderson said.
The unseasonal heat brought a high to Dallas on Christmas day of 83, six degrees under its Fourth of July high. Houston was 81, which is nine degrees below its Independence Day reading.
I feel cheated. It only got up to 78 here yesterday. WTF?
