December Showing Warmer, Wet Trend

Earlier this week on Regional Radio, we heard from Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service in Lincoln tell us to expect a brief cool down in the middle part of November followed by a bit of a warm-up going into December.

 

That warming trend could take us to the new year but Shimon notes above-average chances of moisture throughout December open the opportunity for snowfall. He notes it may not be substantial but it's not out of the question to see some periods of snow.

 

 

Despite the chances for above-normal moisture, heading to the new year, Shimon again reiterates his prognosis for above-normal temperatures.

 

 

The cold air masses are expected to descend on Illinois and the midwest but Shimon says it's difficult to predict when that might happen. He anticipates February and March being cold.

 

 

La Nina will likely start to show up after the first of the year. Shimon says just because there are trends of above-normal temperatures doesn't mean there won't be snow. He also says there's a good chance there will be bouts of ice this winter as well.
