THE MONTH WAS A TALE OF TWO HALVES. WE HAD A WET START OF THE MONTH
AND YEAR WITH A FEW SYSTEMS BRINGING RAIN AND EVEN SOME SNOW TO THE
MOUNTAINS. HOWEVER, CONDITIONS DRIED OUT QUICKLY AND WE ENDED UP
WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING AROUND THE 9TH. SINCE THEN,
PRECIPITATION HAS BEEN FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. KOTH DID OBSERVE SOME
LIGHT RAIN ON THE 27TH AND AGAIN ON THE 29TH. HOWEVER, NOT MUCH OF
THAT RAIN CARRIED OVER TO LOCATIONS INLAND.
BECAUSE OF THE HIGH PRESSURE AND RELATIVELY DRY AIR ALOFT, WE HAVE
SEEN SOME COLD NIGHTS HERE IN MEDFORD DURING THE MONTH. THIS HAS
RESULTED IN OUR AVERAGE TEMPERATURES BEING BELOW NORMAL FOR JANUARY.
