January started right where December left off with warmer and drier conditions. However, a system that moved in late in the month helped moderate temperatures, with most of our climate sites finishing the month slightly below our normal. Despite this system's widespread snowfall, it was not enough to overcome the dry period, leaving all sites below their normal precipitation for the month. Specifically, the Dalhart site recorded only 11% of its normal monthly precipitation, while other locations received at least half of their normal amount.
