1 Arizona Climate Summary January 2017 Summary of conditions for December 2016 December 2016 Temperature and Precipitation Summary December 1 st 15 th : Similar to November, December began with a dry trough of low pressure over the western US. Cold arctic air extended into Arizona and New Mexico keeping temperatures below normal across the state for the first week of the month. A cut-off low pressure system brought some moisture into Arizona on the 2 nd and 3 rd, but only Bellemont received any precipitation (0.02 ). By the 5 th, the system had moved east and the cold air retreated northward. By the 9 th, temperatures had warmed to above average and remained warmer than normal through the 16 th. The warm and dry conditions were due to a zonal flow that brought dry, warm air from the subtropical Pacific Ocean. Several storm systems moved across the Pacific Northwest and into Utah and Colorado. These storms dumped much needed snowfall in the Sierra, Wasatch and Rocky Mountains. High pressure briefly set up over the southwest on the 14 th and 15 th, raising temperatures into the low 80s in the southwest deserts and into the 50s at the higher elevations. The coldest nighttime lows went from single digits in the first week of the month to near freezing by the 16 th. December 16 th 31 st : By the 16 th the high pressure ridge broke down and a strong cold front moved across California into Arizona. The storm was relatively warm, but was followed by very cold air. Precipitation was light to moderate and snow levels were high. Precipitation totals included 1.05 at Flagstaff, 0.22 at the Grand Canyon, 0.09 at Deer Valley Airport, 0.10 at Phoenix Sky Harbor, 0.35 at Valle, 0.59 at Window Rock, 0.69 at Alpine, 1.46 at Bellemont, 0.17 at Coronado National Monument, 0.01 at Tucson Airport, 1.35 at Payson, 0.09 at Petrified Forest, 0.97 at Prescott, 0.41 at Seligman, 1.22 at Show Low, 0.50 at Springerville, and 0.56 at Williams. Behind the front temperatures dropped, plunging nighttime lows back to the single digits at the higher elevations, with milder conditions in the southwest deserts. Another pair of low pressure systems moved into the state late on the 21 st and remained through the 25 th. This system was colder and brought a white Christmas to the higher elevations in the state. Snowfall totals included 21.9 at Flagstaff Airport, 11.7 at Bellemont, 1.5 at Prescott, 5.1 at Payson, 0.5 at Seligman, and 2.0 at Show Low. Rain at the lower elevations included 0.80 at Youngtown, 0.69 at Petrified Forest, 1.01 at Lost Dutchman State Park, 0.88 at Eloy, 0.19 at Coronado National Monument, 0.52 at Carefree, 1.26 at Canyon de Chelly, 0.80 at Bullhead City, 0.75 at Yuma, 0.53 at Tucson Airport, 0.76 at Sonora Desert Museum, 0.65 at Phoenix Airport, 1.08 at Kingman, 0.82 at Bisbee-Douglas Airport, 1.76 at Douglas, and 0.94 at Nogales. The low pressure system cut off on the 26 th and temperatures plummeted back down to single digits and negative values in places like Grand Canyon, Alpine, Bellemont and Flagstaff. Daytime highs in the deserts hovered in the mid- to upper-70s until the 31 st when another storm system brought more rain and snow to the state. New Year s Eve precipitation was under an inch statewide in terms of rain or melted snow. Navajo National Monument had 3.5 of snow on New Year s Eve, while Bellemont had 0.7. Total precipitation for the month was above normal in northwest and north central Arizona as well as in the southwest. The northeast was drier than normal. Flagstaff and Tucson finished the calendar year wetter than normal, while Phoenix was drier than normal.
