Severe (D2) drought conditions continued throughout the first half of January across Camp, Southern Morris, and much of Cass Counties in East Texas, in wake of a very dry December 2019 that was observed across these areas. However, the frequency of rainfall events increased across East Texas during the middle and latter half of January, with monthly rainfall amounts ranging between four and five inches across these three counties, which was one to two inches above normal. This rain, the resultant runoff it produced, and the improved streamflows across the area creeks and streams, resulted in a one category drought improvement to Moderate Drought (D1) across Camp, Southern Morris, and much of Cass Counties by mid-month.

A cold and dry Canadian air mass settled into the Ark-La-Tex during the afternoon and overnight hours on January 19th-20th, behind strong surface high pressure that moved into the region from the Central Plains and Mid-Mississippi Valley. A reinforcement of colder, drier air backdoored southwest into Southeast Oklahoma and Southwest Arkansas during the overnight hours and early morning hours on January 20th-21st, and lingered throughout the daytime hours into the overnight/early morning hours of January 22nd. However, the upper flow transitioned to southwest during this time ahead of a shortwave trough over Eastern New Mexico and the Texas Panhandle, which shifted east across the Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi Valley during the early morning hours on the 22nd. Large scale forcing ahead of this trough contributed to areas of light precipitation developing over the Ark-La-Tex region, with the dry air mass having to saturate from the top down, contributing to a sleet and snow mix falling across portions of extreme Northeast Texas, Southeast Oklahoma, and the northern sections of Southwest Arkansas. Given the fact that temperatures fell slightly below freezing at the onset of the precipitation, light accumulations of sleet and snow were reported across the northern sections of Northeast Texas, generally along and northeast of an Avery, to Dekalb and Atlanta line, with amounts ranging from 0.2-0.3 inches. This did result in some patchy ice developing on some of the area roadways and bridges during the early morning, before temperatures climbed back above freezing by mid morning.
The following are snow and sleet reports from various locations across Northeast Texas from the morning of January 22nd: In Avery (Eastern Red River County), 0.3 inches of snow was recorded, on the Texas side of Texarkana (Eastern Bowie County), 0.2 inches of sleet was recorded, and in Atlanta (Eastern Cass County), 0.2 inches of sleet was recorded.

Severe (D2) drought conditions continued throughout the month of January across Smith and Cherokee Counties in East Texas, in wake of a very dry December 2019 that was observed across these areas. In fact, the prolonged dryness which initially developed in November resulted in the Sabine and Neches River basins (including portions of these two counties) experiencing below normal streamflows through much of the month. However, the frequency of rainfall events increased across East Texas during the middle and latter half of January, with monthly rainfall amounts ranging between three and four inches across Smith and Cherokee Counties. This was near to slightly above normal, but not enough to result in drought improvement to end the month, given the larger short term deficits since the mid and late Fall months of 2019.

A sustained wind of 40 mph was recorded at Washington Heights, NY at 12:10 PM local standard time.
After a period of upper level ridging brought a return to above normal temperatures in early September, very strong easterly downslope and offshore winds off the Cascades and Coastal Ranges occurred. Winds increased rapidly during the afternoon and evening of September 7 with the passage of an unseasonably strong backdoor cold front, and persisted through much of the following day. This resulted in extremely critical fire weather conditions when the strong winds combined with extremely low relative humidity and exceptionally dry existing fuel conditions. The result was explosive growth of ongoing wildfires, and the new start and explosive spread of numerous new wildfires. Widespread wind gusts from 50-70 mph were common on ridge tops and numerous other in exposed areas, including portions of the greater Portland metro area, the Willamette Valley, and areas of the Oregon coast. Strong winds caused widespread damage to trees, and downed numerous power lines across the region, which started at least 13 additional wildfires. Large portions of the cities of Detroit, Mehama, and Gates were destroyed, and significant portions of Idanha, Mill City, and Lyons also burned. Resultant large wildfires included these named incidents - In Oregon: Beachie Creek, Chehalem Mountain/Bald Peak, Riverside, and Lionshead, and in Washington: Big Hollow. Rapidly spreading wildfires resulted in multiple fatalities, hundreds of displaced persons for many weeks, and billions of dollars in damage.

During a record-setting month for heat, a prolonged period of unseasonably high temperatures was observed during the middle of the month. Afternoon temperatures were reaching upwards of 105-115 degrees each day and only cooling off into the upper-70 to low-80s in the mornings.

It appeared the man's vehicle became disabled/stuck on the unpaved and unmaintained road that is intended for 4x4 vehicles. Park officials deemed the fatality heat-caused and said that the man likely died several hours before being found.
During early September, from the 4th through the 7th, southeast California experienced some of its hottest temperatures of the prolific 2020 heat season.

Park authorities located the hikers around 2330 PDT and administered CPR to the unconscious hiker, but were unable to revive him. The hiker was later pronounced dead at around 0900 PDT on the 6th with the cause of death being heat-caused. The other two hikers were successfully rescued.
