| episode_narrative | This was the sixth month in a row that drought conditions were seen across the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. Persistent high pressure over the Southeast U.S. forced most precipitation producing low pressure systems to steer north of the region. In addition, record high temperatures baked the region during the first week of the month. Monthly precipitation totals from counties in the region included 0.6 inches in Hampshire, 0.7 inches in Mineral, 0.8 inches in Morgan, 0.9 inches in Hardy, 1.0 inches in Pendleton, and 1.3 inches in Grant and Jefferson. Average precipitation for the month of December is around 3 inches. Most locations received less than half of their normal precipitation from July through December. A ban on open burning continued through mid December in Berkeley, Grant, Hampshire, Jefferson, Mineral, Morgan, and Pendleton Counties due to extreme fire danger. |
