3.5" of rain now and another line of heavy rain about 60 miles offshore from me. Worst is over. Heavy wind starting tonite with gust to around maybe 50mph on Fri. This has been a super good month so far. Lets keep it cloudy and wet. Dec rain totals will save my dry year. Lake land FL has had over 72" for the year while my area had around 39" until Dec. Lake land had most of the heavy rain in May and June thanks to never ending reverse west windflow so most inland places killed the west coast on rainfall totals this year.
Woke up to 43 degrees this morning in Indianapolis, already 6 degrees above our normal high for today. Not bad for less than a week before Christmas. It's now been 8 days since the last time the temperature was below normal here and 9 days since the last time it failed to get out of the 30s. 4 of those 8 days was double digits above normal. Typically right now we should be around 37 for the high and 23 for the low.
Some other stats:
-We had 9 days above 50 degrees in November. So far we've had 4 such days in the first 19 days of December. Maybe add another today if the rain holds off.
-We had 2 days in November where the temperature failed to climb above freezing. We've only had 3 days in December so far.
-We officially had 4 tenths of an inch of snow in November. So far in December we've had just a half inch. On average we should get almost 7 inches in December.
-We have yet to have 2 days in a row in December stay below freezing.
intense storm coming up the coast. most intense over Florida
No snow or even sleet from this storm will reach south of the US-Canadian border. Warm airmass; warm enough Mt. Washington is forecast to reach 43°F in the middle of the rainstorm
For a storm that size we won’t be all that warm here, only low 60. Normally I would have thought a storm like this will bring low 70s like in years past... not the case here. Then Atlanta will only be upper 40s while the mid Atlantic is in 60s!
The Christmas clipper system that suddenly got a few weather stations to predict some snow for us Christmas Day seems to be greatly scaled back now. Some of those that started to forecast 1-3 inches for us now have a 20% or less chance of mainly rain. Whereas the NWS which had been dry for Christmas Day now has us at a 20% chance of rain and snow with maybe a dusting. Local weather guys are saying if it does snow, it shouldn't be anything significant. So who knows what is going to happen.
