In much of the SE, December will end up several degrees warmer than November.
Charlotte is very likely headed to the largest warming from Nov to Dec on record. If they end up with the predicted 52.9 and considering Nov was 49.6, the warming would be 3.3. The strongest warming from Nov to Dec on record is only 2.9 (1956) with 1889’s 2.8 in 2nd and 1984’s 2.2 in 3rd.
The predicted 55.7 at KATL would be 2.8 warmer than November’s 52.9. However, that much warming would put it only in 4th place with 1889’s warming from Nov to Dec of a whopping 5.5!
KSAV’s November to December warming is predicted to be easily the largest on record. The current largest is 1984’s 3.7.
The prediction is for a whopping 4.8!
I keep hoping like a weenie that we’re in a 1984-5 pattern and that January of 2022 will slightly resemble the historic January of 1985 because of how Nov and Dec of 2021 resemble 1984 and also since ENSO is in a very similarly strengthed 2nd year La Niña. But alas, even a slight resemblance to 1985 appears unlikely at this time. But we’ll see. Note I said just slight resemblance.
