SUMMARY OF
CLIMATOLOGICAL DATA
DECEMBER 2004
...TEMPERATURES:
Generally Slightly Above Normal in Virginia,
Mix of Above and Below Normal in North Carolina,
Below Normal in South Carolina...
...PRECIPITATION:
Mostly Below Normal Across the 3-state Region
SNOWSTORM Hits Southeastern Virginia and Northeastern North Carolina...
A look at your and NWS reports shows a month of with fairly close to
normal readings for temperatures and precip, although there were some exceptions.
While temps across South Carolina were generally
below normal, temperatures in North Carolina were mixed with regard to
departure from normal and in Virginia, average temps were above normal for the most part, but
only by a slight degree. Interestingly, temps were some 2° above normal in northwestern and northern
Virginia southward through north central North
Carolina but fell off to 2° below normal in south central and coastal North Carolina.
As temps dropped off considerably compared with earlier above normal
readings in late fall, so did precipitation amounts. In Virginia, most departures were
within an inch of normal (below and above) while departures below normal in North Carolina
approached 1.5-2". In South Carolina, several stations were above 2" in deficiency.
A big exception was found in Greenville-Spartanburg where 6.48" of rain fell, some
2.62" above normal. Anderson had over 4½" of rain, but that was only 0.72" above normal.
Most of the three-state area was snow starved this month. Many western areas within the
region which normally have small snowfalls in late fall and early winter went
without this December. But in southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina
, the kids had their snowboards out big time!
A surprise snowstorm developed on the 26th when abundant moisture rode up the coastal plains
of the Southeast US and collided with cold dry air that had settled in the previous two days from
high pressure to the west and north. A strong boundary front developed over
central northeast North Carolina through western Hampton Roads to the lower Peninsula areas extending east
to York County, Virginia. Tremendous atmospheric lift was produced right along
this boundary. Within just a few miles on either side of the front, the heaviest moisture fell in
the form of snow with reports of up to 16½ inches, all coming in an 8-10 hour time frame.
Only a few miles to the north and south of the boundary, snowfall totals fell off rapidly.
In fact, both Williamsburg and Wakefield had only 3" of snow, just a few miles to the
west and north of Hampton, Newport News, and York County where many totals reached 10-13", similar to
the totals in portions of the Ahoskie, North Carolina and Suffolk, Virginia areas.
And in southside Hampton Roads, Virginia Beach reported only 3" while Portsmouth reported
5 inches, as did Norfolk.
Satellite maps and snowfall totals are depicted at the NWS websites and in the
North Carolina Summary for December 2004 from RAH, Raleigh to which a link is provided below (see Raleigh).

THE PASSING OF JOHN BULLOCK
-
We have received word from his daughter that longtime but inactive member
John Bullock of Louisa, Virginia has recently died. In 2001, John informed us that as he was
growing older he simply could not make the venture to the backyard to take his
readings any longer. He was pleased that Joe Bowers was also an observer in Louisa and would continue
providing data from that location.

Virginia:
Annandale
- Lowell sends these comments on December's wxr:
"
December was a little below average in precipitation and little above
average in temperature.
The December mean temperature of 38.4°F was a departure of +0.7°F and
the precipitation departure was -0.17 inches.
The snowfall total for December was only 0.1 inches, the least
for December since 2001 and a departure of -2.7 inches for the
month. The snowfall total for 2004 was only 6.5 inches which
was the least snowfall for a year since 1998 when only 1.8 inches
was recorded and a departure of -16.1 inches.
The lowest temperature recorded for the month was 8°F
( a departure of -6.5°F ) the lowest monthly minimum
recorded since 1989 when it was 2°F and the second lowest
temperature since February 5, 1996. The lowest daily
maximum temperature for December was 22°F on the 20th
which was the lowest since 1989 when 14°F was recorded
as a maximum. On December 20th at 0813 the wind chill was
-13.1°F, the lowest recorded for December since the
new wind chill chart came into effect in the fall of 2001.
The dew point on the 20th also reached a new low for
December of -10.5°F since dew point records were started in
2002.
The 1.08 inches of total rainfall on the 23rd set a new
record for 5-minute rainfall intensity of 0.49 inches.
The old December record was only 0.11 inches in 1993 and
2003 (precipitation intensity records since 1991). Only the
rainfall intensities on June 16, 1998 with 0.56 inches in
five minutes and July 23, 1992 with 0.58 inches (records
since 1991) were more intense. This rain was also
accompanied by a wind gust of 40 mph. For the year, we
had a deficit of -1.20 inches precipitation and the total of
43.16 inches for the year. Thunder was heard four
times on the 19th which was the first thunder observed in
December since 1996.
The maximum gust of 49 mph from the west on the 1st
at 1048 hours was the highest wind gust recorded in
December since 1988 when a 50 mph gust was recorded.
The minimum barometer reading of 29.44 inches
on the 11th was the lowest recorded for December
and the highest barometer reading was 30.68
inches observed on December 28th.
8 December DAILY Records Were Tied or Broken - (24 Years of records):
December had 1 LOW max temperature record: 20,
December had 1 HIGH min temperature record: 10;
December had 2 LOW min temperature records: 20, 28;
December had 2 HIGH range temperature records: 21, 23;
December had 2 HIGH precipitation records: 9, 23.

- NWS LWX's Strong reports:
"
DECEMBER 2004 ENDED UP BEING A BIT WARMER THAN NORMAL...BUT IT WAS A
MONTH WITH EXTREMES. THERE WERE SEVERAL DAYS IN THE 60S...HOWEVER
THERE WERE ALSO SEVERAL NIGHTS THAT THE CITY HAD LOW TEMPERATURES IN
THE TEENS AND LOW 20S. WHILE NEW YEARS EVE NEARLY HIT 60...THERE WAS
LIGHT SNOW ON THE 20TH AS AN ARCTIC FRONT SWEPT THRU THE AREA.
THE COLDEST NIGHT OF THE MONTH FOLLOWED THAT ARCTIC FRONT. THE
MORNING OF THE 20TH WAS ELEVEN DEGREES IN THE CITY. THAT WAS OUR
SECOND COLDEST TEMPERATURE IN NINE YEARS...AFTER A SINGLE DIGIT
MORNING LAST JANUARY. IT WAS THE COLDEST DECEMBER MORNING SINCE THE
BITTER COLD DECEMBER OF 1989.
DURING DECEMBER 2004...THERE WAS A SNOWSTORM TO OUR SOUTH IN
SOUTHEAST VIRGINIA AND SOUTHEAST MARYLAND...AND ANOTHER SNOWSTORM TO
OUR WEST IN THE OHIO VALLEY. HOWEVER...WASHINGTON MADE IT THROUGH
DECEMBER WITH ONLY A FRACTION OF AN INCH OF SNOW ON THE 19TH.
PRECIPITATION EXACTLY MATCHED THE AVERAGE AMOUNT FOR THE MONTH WITH
JUST OVER THREE INCHES OF RAIN. JUST OVER HALF OF THAT TOTAL FELL
DURING A MILD STRETCH OF WEATHER FROM THE 7TH TO THE 11TH.
" - [ + - ] "
Bridgewater
- "
Rainfall for the month was .53 inches below normal. The temperature was 1.6
degrees above normal. There was no measurable snow during December.
We haven't had any measurable snow so far this winter season. In fact,
I haven't seen one snowflake, although there have been reports of a
few flurries which happened during the nighttime hours.
" - [ + - ]
Centreville
- "
With the first half of December getting off to an unusually warm beginning,
it caused some concern in this section of northern Centreville about winter
arriving at all this year. Our warmest temperature of 65° on the 7th
had Santa thinking about adding sunblock to his travel kit, but the ever c
clever Mrs. C. suggested; "Wait and see, it just might just rain dear".
Except for a couple of daily highs in the 60's on the 22nd and the 23rd,
the remaining two weeks of December held on to generally average to
somewhat below average temperatures for the period. A monthly low of 9°
on the 20th was a brisk reminder that winter would in fact be here the
next day. The average monthly high of 47° and the average monthly low of
28.9° all slipped in to the log book during the middle of the month,
right about when they should have. On average, nightly lows were trying to
play it cool for the last fling at getting it right at least once this year.
The average monthly low for December of 28.9° was just 3.4°
above the 25.5° normal. That is the smallest deviation between recorded
temperatures and climate averages since January '04.
Snowfall during December in Northern Virginia is a hit or miss affair, and
this year, just like 2003, counted as another miss with no measurable
snow to brag about. Only a trace on three days was all we managed here;
very much unlike the southern locales of Maryland and Virginia just
after Christmas. Rainfall for Centreville managed to miss the monthly
average by a slight 0.06". Accumulations were fairly well distributed
among the days of the first two weeks of the month with 58%, or
1.80" of our 3.08" monthly total falling. Around 5:30pm on the 23rd
started a ten hour rain event netting us 1.28" and the final amount for
the month and the year. After that, the sky was dry, and Santa hardly
needed his sun-block, much less his umbrella. For the year, we got off
to a slow start in the precipitation department until the end of May
when the five month amount only averaged 72% of normal. For the rest of
the year however, generous monthly accumulations brought our yearly
total rainfall of 41.41" to within 1.20" of our 42.61" annual average.
" - notes from Paul [ + - ]
Falls Church
- "
A generally warm month and also a wetter month. Only .3" of snow fell on
grassy surfaces on the 19th when a very strong cold front came through.
There was also thunder, lightning and periods of rain and rain/snow mix.
The front on the 7th brought my peak wind gust for the month at 52 mph.
On the 11th that front brought pea-sized hail for about 15 minutes but
no thunder or lightning.

Herndon
- Russ reports:"
December temperatures averaged above normal, as did precipitation.
The monthly temperature was 1.6 degrees above normal and
precipitation was 0.6" above average. Of note in December
was the roller coaster ride our temperatures took.
On the 20th, wind chills reached -15 degrees in the morning
hours, as the temperature dipped to 8.5 degrees. The cold didn't
last long though, as the high temps reached 59 degrees on the
22nd and 23rd. They plunged back down to highs which struggled
to reach above freezing on the 24th - 28th. Though it was cold
enough, no White Christmas for us, this year!

The mean max temperature was 69.3°, the mean minimum temperature was 50.1°,
and the annual mean temp was 59.7°.
Over the year, temps ranged from 12° to 95°.
Yearly rainfall totaled 59.20". For the year, 21.3" of snow was recorded,
with 13.5" on the ground on December 26th. This was also the greatest 24-hour amount.
"
Norfolk
- notes from the Fred Heutte Center
"
A rare snowfall on the day after Christmas with 5" recorded here. The snow resulted from
moisture riding up the coastal plain from the SE US coast into cold air that had
built south from the Midwest and New England from eastern Canada.
The boundary zone of cold and moisture was located
across the Bay to Hampton and Newport News southwest to the Virginia/North Carolina border
to Emporia then south in to North Carolina. Overrunning moisture in this
area resulted in snowfall amounts ranging from
about 3" at Virginia Beach to as much as a foot inland NE North Carolina with heavier amounts
right along the boundary layer reaching 16½" in isolated areas of Newport News to
York County, Virginia. Cold temps preceded and followed the event maximizing the sticking of snow on the ground and
local streets as well as stretching the number of days snow remained on the ground.

On the 26th, a surprise holiday snowstorm developed over Southeast Virginia as cold, dry air settled
south and east from the Midwestern US. Low pressure moved up the Southeast US coast
with the abundant frontogenesis precip falling from York County, Virginia southwest
to north-central Northeastern North Carolina. Localities in this narrow band received as much
as 16" of snow with lesser amounts falling off rapidly north to just south of Richmond and
over coastal Northeastern North Carolina. Here in southeastern Portsmouth, 5.0" of snow fell in about 8 hours; but only 20 miles
to the west and north, over parts of Suffolk to the west and Hampton and Newport News to the north, 10-16" of snow were common, extending east into
the York County area and southwest into the Ahoskie, NC vicinity. Saw this same type of snow here in
1989 occurring in February with 13.5" here. With cold temps following the snows, the ground remained
white and icy for several days thereafter.
Precipitation was below normal for the entire month (86%) and temps (+0.2°) were above normal.
At year's end, temperatures for the 12 month period averaged close to normal (+0.2°) and
yearly rainfall ended up 103% of the norm or 1.32" above the 48.24" norm (1976-2003).

Raleigh
- NWS Raleigh (RAH) reports:
Here are excerpts from the December's climate summary from NWS RAH:
"
December 2004 was a month of highly variable weather conditions. Although
the statewide average monthly temperatures and precipitation will go down
in the record books as being "slightly below normal", the state experienced
everything from thunderstorms and flash flooding, to near record warmth,
record cold, snow, ice, and biting wind chills at some point during the
month. When experienced, these conditions felt anything but "normal".
It was only when all the data during the 31 days of December was averaged
together that it appeared to be a "near normal" month.

Tri-Cities was in 1961, when 6.75 inches was recorded.
The monthly average temperature at Tri-Cities was 36.3 degrees, which was
1.0 degree below normal. It tied with 1980 and 1954 as the 21st coldest
December on record at Tri-Cities. A daily record low was broken on the
