Near Average Temps Expected as we Descend into December

Models are trending warmer, and all the buzz about the December 5th storm has completely vanished off social media. We are glad we did not bite that bait. As we begin December, we will be warm at times, but also cold at times to balance us out to overall normal.

There could be some storm systems that try to dip south between now and December 11th. However the warm air just to our west will continue to wreak havoc with any snow chances.

But the chances are still decent as long as we don’t get flooded with warm air.

The GEFS ensembles are showing some cold outbreaks, but they will be short-lived and then a re-emergence of warm air looks likely behind those.

It will be difficult to get any sustained cold to dig into the Southeast, and the next shot does not look to come until the 7th:

But even this might disappear from the ensembles. Overall we are saying close to seasonal average temps to begin December, but we may have to modify our forecast to slightly above normal at some point.

Please share this info to any farmers or heating/cooling specialists that you may know!
