| episode_narrative | This was the sixth month in a row that drought conditions were seen across the Washington D.C. area. 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. Only 1.74 inches of precipitation fell at Washington Reagan National Airport in December, 1.38 inches below normal. In the past 127 years, only one other July through December on record (1930) received less precipitation than the last half of 1998. The 6 month total at the airport was only 7.45 inches, 12.82 inches below normal. |
