The month could resemble December 2010, which was notably colder than average
After a cool October and a marginally warm November, a cold December may well loom for the D.C. area. We project temperatures 2 to 4 degrees below the recent 30-year average and would not be shocked if it is even a little colder.We also lean toward a drier-than-normal month, with overall precipitation about 1 to 2 inches below average. Even so, the cold air should offer opportunities for snow, and our best guess is around 1 to 3 inches, which is in the normal range.
For the first half of December, weather models do not show a strong effect from the Greenland block, with temperatures projected to be near or just slightly below normal. But they do show cold building to our north and northwest, which could well sink south during the month’s second half.
