Description

Hi All,

December was relatively warm and wet for West Tennessee, while areas further east were closer to average. The main weather and climate stories of December 2024 included the strong blast of cold air early in the month that led to widespread light snowfall and record cold temperatures from December 3-6, and two cold fronts that brought strong thunderstorms, localized flash flooding, some small hail, and strong winds to the state on December 18 and December 28-29. Heavy rains on the 29th led to flash flooding and closure of roads and temporary bridges in parts of Carter County that were impacted by severe flooding in September from Helene. December was a busy month in the climate office and we didn't get our November summary out to you, so that is also attached here. You can view all previous summaries in the Monthly Reports section of our website as well. With 2025 well underway, we will also be releasing our 2024 Annual Climate Summary within the next few days so be on the lookout for that. We hope everyone is staying warm! Andrew & Wil
