A very strong storm system that originated in the desert southwest, developed a storm system in the central Rockies late Saturday night, December 24th. This system moved across the Dakotas, and into northern Minnesota by late Christmas Day.
Moisture was ample and widespread across the plains during the onset of this storm system. In addition, this system was very mild and kept southern and central Minnesota in the warm sector through most of this event. Therefore, the predominant precipitation type was in the form of rain or freezing rain. West central and central Minnesota were kept below freezing during the heaviest precipitation that occurred Christmas Day.
Before the heavier precipitation started on Sunday, a prolonged period of light freezing drizzle occurred, creating dangerous driving conditions on untreated roadways. By Sunday afternoon, ice accumulations were over a quarter of an inch in several areas in central and west central Minnesota. Power outages were reported in portions of west central Minnesota where ice accumulated on power lines and trees.
In addition to the freezing rain, as the storm system intensified by Sunday afternoon in northern Minnesota, strong west winds developed. These winds gusted over 55 mph in portions of southern Minnesota. Local airports had measured wind gusts of 59 to 66 mph from Granite Falls, south and east toward Redwood Falls and Winthrop.

A very small area of severe winds resulted from nearby thunderstorms during the very early morning hours on this Sunday. Throughout the nighttime hours, a small mesoscale convective system, comprised primarily of multicell thunderstorms, propagated east along and just south of the Nebraska-Kansas state line. Northward moving outflow resulted in a little tree damage in the town of Axtell. Nearby observations at Holdrege and Hastings suggested these winds were associated with a heat burst. At 4 a.m. CST, the temperature at Hastings rocketed to 89 degrees, and the dewpoint plunged to 48. The previous hour both values were 76 and 64, respectively. That 89 degrees was the high temperature for the date. Winds at Holdrege gusted to 45 mph. The temperature and dewpoint changes there were not quite as impressive.
These thunderstorms formed in the warm sector, south of a wavy front that extended from New England, through the Ohio Valley, then northwest to low pressure over South Dakota. The rest of the front trailed southwest to Nevada. Convective initiation was most likely associated with the low-level jet, which had increased to 55 kts by daybreak. In the upper levels, forcing was negligible. Zonal flow was over the northern half of the United States, with weak anticyclonic flow over the southern U.S. A closed high was over New Mexico. Prior to the outflow moving through, temperatures were in the middle 70s, with dewpoints in the middle 60s. Mid-level lapse rates were steep, at least 8.5 degrees C/km. This resulted in MLCAPE of 1500 to 1900 J/kg. The nearest sounding, at North Platte, a few hours later (1200 UTC or 6 am CST), indicated a loaded gun profile, except winds were weak below 500 mb.

Heavy rain and a little severe hail occurred on this Saturday night. The first couple storms initiated over Norton County between 9 and 10 p.m. CST. Additional storms formed southeastward across Phillips into Rooks County. A short line segment of multi-cell storms evolved, with new development extending further southeast into Osborne County after 11 p.m. CST. Numerous other single cell storms then developed across Rooks, Osborne, and Mitchell Counties, with cell mergers eventually resulting in a large cluster of storms that propagated east across Osborne and Mitchell Counties. Two to four inches of rain fell across Rooks, Osborne, and Mitchell Counties, mostly within a 2-hour period. The highest rainfall reported was 3.85 inches in Osborne. One storm did produce hail up to 1.5 inches in diameter just north of Stockton. That was the only severe weather reported, but winds were measured at 56 mph in rural Mitchell County, a few miles east of Tipton.
At sunset Saturday evening, a quasi-stationary front was oriented east-to-west from the Mid-Atlantic and Ohio Valley through the mid-Mississippi Valley to near the Kansas-Oklahoma border. Its western extent was banked up against the Rockies. A low pressure system was over Montana. As the low continued to mature, the front began lifting north as a warm front. These storms formed on the cool side of the surface front and by daybreak Sunday, the front extended from northwest-to-southeast across Kansas. In the upper levels, the Westerlies were over the northern half of the U.S. and were characterized by low amplitude. A slight ridge was over the Northern Rockies, with a slight trough over the Midwest and Great Lakes. A low was over southwest Canada, with a shortwave trough moving into the Pacific Northwest. In the pre-convective environment, surface temperatures were in the middle 70s, with dewpoints in the upper 60s to near 70. Mid-level lapse rates were between 7 and 7.4 degrees C/km, resulting in MUCAPE of 2000-2500 J/kg. Effective deep layer shear was 25-30 kts.

This was a very marginal event in terms of parameters coming together. However, there was an axis of the moisture convergence in the low to mid levels of the atmosphere with precipitable water values right over north central TX Panhandle and OK Panhandle of over one inch and a sharp moisture gradient from west to east across the Panhandles. In-conjunction with the moisture axis, limited CAPE of just around 1000 J/Kg, and weak effective shear around 30 kts allowed a few isolated storms to initiate. Weak mid level winds under 10 kts had storm training over the same areas before eventually instability and decreasing moisture axis had storms dissipate. This resulted in heavy rainfall with some flooding reported.

Throughout the spring, summer and autumn, north Georgia saw an extended period of below normal rainfall. By late summer and early fall all of north Georgia was experiencing severe, extreme or exceptional drought conditions. As summer vegetation began to die off and autumn leaves began falling from the trees, the continued extremely dry conditions led to very dangerous wildfire conditions. From early October through November and into December, numerous wildfires erupted across north and central Georgia including 3 major wildfires covering multiple thousands of acres apiece in the north Georgia mountains. By the end of December, over $20 million dollars in federal funds had been spent fighting wildfires across north Georgia in the Chattahoochee National Forest and on surrounding federal and state lands.

Wildfire in TOWNS, GEORGIA
From 01-DEC-16 00:00:00 to 15-DEC-16 12:00:00 (EST-5)
Reported by: Park/Forest Service

On November 11th a human caused wildfire erupted along the border between Towns and Rabun Counties. Before the Rocky Mountain wildfire was declared contained on December 15th it had consumed 1,851 acres in the eastern portion of Towns County. In total, this wildfire burned nearly 25,000 acres of Chattahoochee National Forest and state and private forest land in Georgia and Tennessee. More tham $11 million federal dollars were expended fighting this wildfire, nearly $900,000 in Towns County alone.
This Wednesday afternoon featured two notable wildfires in central Nebraska, the second and larger of which impacted southern Valley and northern Sherman counties within this 24-county area, ultimately scorching around 6,000 acres of pasture and crop land. Fortunately, no structural damage or injuries were reported.
This fire ignited around 1 PM in a rural area of far south central Valley County, a short distance southeast of the intersection of Nebraska Highways 22 and 70. Unfortunately, weather conditions were ripe for rapid fire spread and growth. Although relative humidity (RH) values averaged around 30% (slightly above official critical values), very strong northwest winds whipped the flames through dry grasses, with sustained speeds generally 25-35 MPH and frequent gusts to around 45 MPH. It didn't take long for the fire to jump over the county line into far northern Sherman County. Given that it was tracking toward the north side of Sherman Reservoir, several residences in the area were evacuated as a precaution. Fortunately, the fire was brought under control north of the reservoir by early evening before affecting any structures, thanks to the efforts of 13 rural fire departments and even one fire-fighting aircraft. This fire ended up consuming roughly 6,000 acres of dormant pasture and farm land as it traveled a relatively narrow, northwest-to-southeast path of 6-7 miles. On a side note, while only a small fraction of South Central Nebraska was directly impacted by this fire, a highly-visible and locally-thick smoke plume drifted at least 50-100 miles southeast during the afternoon, briefly reducing visibilities in many places, including the Hastings area.
