Severe (D2) drought conditions developed across Morris County, Texas, throughout the first week of November.

Total rainfall amounts generally between 8-9 inches fell across Morris County from August through November, which was around 50% or less of normal. Widespread rain fell across Northeast Texas during the first week of November, with amounts of around an inch falling across Morris County. This rainfall resulted in improvement in drought conditions to Moderate (D1), although another prolonged period of above normal temperatures and dryness resulted in a return to severe drought conditions (D2) by the end of the month.

A strong area of low pressure was located over southern Lake Michigan during the early morning hours of December 11th. This low moved quickly northeast to north of Lake Ontario by mid-afternoon, deepening at a rate of almost 1 mb per hour. Ahead of this system, conditions were warm across the area with temperatures into the 60s in some locations during the early morning hours. Erie Airport hit a record high of 67 degrees. As this low pressure system moved east, it extended a cold front across Northwest Pennsylvania, which allowed for temperatures to crash significantly into the 30s later in the day. Behind the front, strong synoptic winds moved across the region with the pressure rises behind the system. Wind gusts as high as 64 mph were felt across the area with that highest report recorded by the automated weather sensor at Erie International Airport. Minor damage occurred across the region with downed trees and power lines and poles, which prompted numerous outages. Some of the trees landed upon vehicles causing property damage.

December was an extremely dry month for the combined Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles. Absolutely no precipitation occurred and this contributed to worsening soil conditions. Soil across the area went from dry to very dry. Cattle and livestock needed supplemental feeding with range land grasses being non-existent. Winter wheat was suffering in dry lands. There were even reports of the dry soils leading to wheat fields being lost to high wind events. Also, multiple wildfires occurred during high wind events during the month with fuels being extremely dry.
