November 2012 Climate And Weather Review For South Central Nebraska
And Portions Of North Central Kansas
...Temps Above Normal All Areas...As the 7th-Consecutive Month of Below Normal Precipitation In Most Areas Keeps Serious Drought In Place...
The following narrative focuses on climate and weather highlights for the month of November 2012 across the NWS Hastings coverage area, encompassing 24 counties in south central and central Nebraska, and 6 counties in north central Kansas. Click HERE for a map of this coverage area. The temperature and precipitation data presented here are largely based on the NWS Cooperative Observer network, along with data from a handful of automated airport sites. All climate averages and "normals" presented here are based on the official NCDC 1981-2010 normals.
- TEMPERATURES....(According to 30-year averages, "normal" November high temperatures in South Central Nebraska gradually decrease from the mid-upper 50s early in the month to the lower-mid 40s by the end of the month, while highs in North Central Kansas gradually decrease from the lower-60s to the mid-40s. "Normal" November low temperatures across most of the 30-county area gradually decrease from the lower-mid 30s early in the month to between 17-23° by month's end...)
Following on the heels of a cooler-than-normal October, monthly mean temperatures (resulting from averaging both the highs and lows) returned to above normal territory in November, with nearly the entire area ending up 2-4° above normal for the month. By far the greatest contributing factor to the above normal monthly average was daily high temperatures, which averaged 5-7° above normal. In contrast, daily low temperatures actually averaged rather close to normal in many areas, if not slightly below normal. At Grand Island, this was the 20th-warmest November on record out of 118 years, and it was the 23rd-warmest November out of 106 years at Hastings. However, one only has to look back 3 years to 2009 to find a warmer November than this one. In the Nebraska Tri-Cities, Grand Island and Kearney airports tied for the warmest reading of the month with 79° on the 10th, while Kearney recorded the coldest reading with 12° on the 28th.
Breaking down the month into general temperature trends, there were only two fairly brief cold snaps embedded within the overall warmth, one centered from the 11th-12th and the other from the 23rd-26th. These cold snaps featured high temperatures of just 32° on both the 11th and 26th at Ord in the far northern part of the area, while on these same days even Beloit in the far southern part of the area only managed to reach 39°. In terms of daily low temperatures, the coldest mornings of the month occurred between the 26th-28th, highlighted by readings of 7° at several locations including Ord airport, Greeley, Red Cloud and even Kirwin Dam KS. The two warmest days of the month were clearly the 10th and 21st, with both Grand Island and Hastings either breaking or tying record highs on both days. Per NWS cooperative observers, the warmest readings of the month within the 30-county area occurred on the 10th, highlighted by 82° at Webster Dam KS, 81° at Smith Center and Kirwin Dam KS, and 80° at Nebraska locations including Holdrege and Franklin. The overall warmest week of the month for much of the area (per average high temperatures) was centered between the 16th-22nd, during which Grand Island reached at least 60° on five of the seven days, including 74° on the 21st. The 22nd marked the second year in a row that Grand Island reached at least 60° on Thanksgiving Day, which hadn't happened since 1914-1915.

- PRECIPITATION/SNOWFALL...(According to 30-year averages, "normal" November precipitation across the NWS Hastings coverage area (rainfall and snow liquid equivalent) ranges between 0.85 - 1.10" across roughly the western half of the area including places such as Kearney, Cambridge and Plainville KS, up to between 1.30 - 1.50" in eastern locations such as York and Hebron. November snowfall normals range from 2.5 - 4" across most of South Central Nebraska, and 1-2" in North Central Kansas.)
With each passing dry month, it's getting more and more difficult to fully grasp how dry the summer-fall of 2012 really was. In terms of percent-of-normal monthly precipitation, November took "top prize" versus all previous months since May, which is roughly when this historic drought situation began to unfold. Based on reports from around 70 NWS Cooperative Observers and a few automated airport gauges, and also incorporating radar-derived estimation, virtually the ENTIRE 30-county area measured below normal precipitation in November, with at most only 1-2% of the area possibly registering above normal. More significantly, at least half of the area measured LESS THAN ONE-TENTH of normal November precipitation, including a number of counties primarily west of the Highway 281 corridor that hardly saw a single drop of precipitation. In fact, 26 of roughly 70 official NWS cooperative observer stations either measured ZERO precipitation or just a non-measurable trace, including Nebraska sites such as Kearney airport, Beaver City, Holdrege and Minden, and Kansas sites such as Plainville (4 miles WNW), Logan, Jewell and Cawker City. The fortunate (but limited) portions of the area that measured at least 0.25-0.75" of precipitation during the month were confined to a corridor roughly 15-20 miles either side of a line running from near Smith Center KS northeastward through Aurora and Silver Creek NE, with this corridor including places such as Hastings, Grand Island, Fullerton, Osceola and York. By far the highest known measured monthly totals within the 30-county area were from York County, including 1.44" at Gresham (3 miles west) and 1.25" at York (3 miles north). For the majority of places that measured any rain during the month, it was associated with a round of strong to severe thunderstorms that swept across primarily eastern portions of the coverage area on the afternoon and evening of the 10th.
As for snowfall, the majority of the 30-county area saw nothing more than a light dusting, if even that, although 0.3" at Grand Island and Hastings on the 26th served as the first measurable snow of the season. Only a few places reported more than 1" of snow during the month (all of it on the 26th), including 2.0" at Central City and Ravenna, and 1.5" at Ord and Arcadia in Valley County.
Accounting for longer-term precipitation deficits since this very dry pattern first took hold during May and June, totals over the past 6-7 months continue to average only 15-60% of normal across the majority of the 30-county area, with the largest longer-term deficits clearly focused across northwestern counties such as Valley, Sherman and Greeley. A few of the most dramatic examples of rainfall deficits during this time include Ord and Grand Island. At Ord, the six-month total precipitation from June-November was merely 1.84", or only 12% of the normal amount of 15.69". At Grand Island Central Nebraska Regional Airport, this was the driest combined meteorological summer and fall seasons on record (June-November) with only 4.15", topping the previous-driest summer-fall of 5.22" in 1940. In fact, assuming that December is not unusually wet, it is likely that 2012 will mark the driest calendar year on record in Grand Island (previous record 12.01" in 1940)

In addition, the link on the far upper right of this page contains an archive of monthly precipitation amounts for around 70 locations.)
- DROUGHT STATUS...Compared to the issuance on Oct. 30th, the U.S. Drought Monitor as of Dec. 4, 2012 (images at bottom of page) reflected very little (if any) change in the ongoing, significant drought situation, as the summer and fall of 2012 cemented its place in history as one of the worst droughts in many decades. A little over half of the 30-county area remained in Category D4 Exceptional Drought through the month, the worst-possible category, while several counties mainly within the southeast quadrant of the coverage area remained in Category D3 Extreme Drought. Only parts of three counties in far southeast sections of the area (Thayer, Jewell and Mitchell) were assigned the somewhat "less significant" Category D2 Severe Drought. Looking beyond the borders of the 30-county NWS Hastings coverage area, around 96% of Nebraska and 78% of Kansas resided in Extreme or Exceptional Drought as of early December.
(For MUCH MORE detail about the drought situation, please refer to the latest Drought Information Statement from NWS Hastings, and also the U.S. Drought Monitor graphics toward the bottom of this page)
- SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS/HIGH WINDS...Nine Severe Thunderstorm Warnings were issued by NWS Hastings during the month, marking the first November warnings since 2005. All of these warning were issued on the 10th between the mid-afternoon and early evening hours, as a line of strong to severe storms initially formed roughly along a line from Fullerton-Hastings-Smith Center and moved east. Reports of severe weather were rather limited with this activity, but included golf ball size hail near St. Libory and a measured 64 MPH wind gust 4 miles north-northeast of Red Cloud (for a graphical depiction of severe weather reports please see the interactive storm reports map at the far bottom of this page).
- Number of Severe Thunderstorm Warning polygons issued by NWS Hastings in November 2012: 9 (9 more than last year, and these were the first November severe thunderstorm warnings since 2005)
- Number of Tornado Warning polygons issued by NWS Hastings in November 2012: ZERO (Same as last year)
- Number of confirmed tornadoes within the NWS Hastings coverage area in November 2012: ZERO
