sweetapricity/bridgedeck-noaa huggingface dataset:
For at least most of January, portions of three of the six North Central Kansas counties (Phillips/Smith/Jewell) were assigned either Severe (D2) or Extreme (D3) Drought by the U.S. Drought Monitor. Although this marked the third consecutive month with at least D2 assigned to some part of the area, overall January featured positive news for drought trends as essentially all of North Central Kansas received above normal precipitation (for particularly most of Phillips County this ended a five-month run of below normal). Despite the encouraging precipitation trends, official drought categories only underwent fairly minimal change during January, although there was a slight reduction in the coverage of D2 and a modest increase of D1 (Moderate Drought). More specifically, the majority of the six-county area spent most of the month in D1, as those portions of Jewell, Mitchell, eastern Osborne and southeastern Smith counties that had recently improved to D0 (Abnormally Dry) actually reverted back to D1 in mid-January. Meanwhile, D2 remained intact across much of northern Phillips and northwestern Smith counties all month, but was removed from northeastern Smith and extreme northwestern Jewell counties on the 26th. Finally, D3 (Extreme Drought) lingered on within extreme northwestern Phillips County. The late-month shrinkage of the D2 in Smith/Jewell counties was driven by a potent winter storm that dumped 5-10 inches of snow across most of North Central Kansas, primarily on the 25th. In fact, this single storm accounted for around 80 percent of total January precipitation, with monthly totals across most of the six-county area ranging from 0.70-1.00 (generally 125-180 percent of normal). Per a few dozen NWS cooperative observer/CoCoRaHS stations, a few of the highest monthly totals featured: 1.43 at Lovewell Dam and 1.29 in Cawker City, with a few of the smallest (but still above normal) tallies including 0.68 at Natoma and 0.69 in Logan. Temperature-wise, although certainly not as big of a drought-factor as it would have been during the growing season, January marked the third-straight warmer-than-average month, with most local stations averaging 3-5 degrees (F) above normal.

A strong shortwave moved across the Southeast region which drove a mature squall line toward the local area. Steep mid level lapse rates due to drier air aloft and strong low level winds created high DCAPE values which combined to produce strong wind gusts as the broken squall line moved across the area.

A potent storm system developing over the lower MS River Valley tracked eastward across the Gulf Coast States and brought a couple rounds of severe storms to the local area. The first wave of strong to severe storms approached SE GA midday with strong shear and high low level helicity favoring all severe weather hazards including damaging winds, large hail and tornadoes. This initial band of convection stalled just north of the I-10 corridor and lingered into the afternoon as the first mid level trough lifted NE of the region. This lingering convergent line (outflow boundary) was a focus for continued rounds of severe storms and locally heavy rainfall under strengthening upper level divergence and robust 850 mb winds of 40-50 kts as the parent mid/upper level troughs approached from the west into the evening. The next wave of severe storms developed in the late afternoon and early evening along both the lingering trough/outflow axis across NE FL was well as upstream across south GA as the next strong upper level trough approached, which another round of severe hazards including tornadoes, damaging winds and large hail across SE GA and northeast Florida into the evening. Storms generally weakened a few hours after midnight as stronger dynamics lifted NE of the region, but a few stronger storms during the early morning hours of the 25th produced a brief tornado in Flagler county and hail across our southern tier counties.
