But ultimately, we gotta start getting some significant storms or else it won't be remembered as a good January no matter what the temps do. Most people are in this for the storms.

Remember the older CFS runs that were all warm all the time in January? That changed. (We'll deal with week 4 as it approaches)

Yesterday was our 6th below freezing high temperature of the month. This is the most sub-freezing December days here in East Nantmeal since back in 2017 when we had 10 such days. Today should be our last below normal day till next year! Before we warm up we will get a little wet. We will need to watch temperatures overnight tonight as we could see some spotty freezing drizzle or rain over the higher spots in NW Chester and SE Berks Counties before temperatures rise. It looks pretty wet between now and New Year’s Day with as much as 1.50” of rain before midnight New Year’s Eve. We will turn much colder again by later next week.

Looks like PDX will end up with the 4th or 5th warmest December on record, probably not quite as warm as last year though.

Rainfall this month has been pretty pedestrian. 0.86" overnight, up to 9.86" on the month. Starting to think we end up almost exactly average. PDX and SLE are now slightly above average on the month. Eugene still about half an inch BELOW average.
