November 6, 2014
Below to well below-normal temperatures will rule November. For at least the next two weeks, waves of much colder air plunge into the Plains from the Arctic Circle. Several stretches of high temperatures struggling to reach 40 and lows dipping into the teens-low 20s will last roughly 4-6 days. A day or two of highs in the 50s to low 60s will be very hard to come by. This pattern looks pretty solid through the end of November. Even if the pattern moderates approaching Thanksgiving, we’ll still be below normal temp-wise just not shivering at the thought of going outside.
Since the air will be originating from Canada, there will be very little moisture in it. However, these strong fronts won’t need much to produce light precipitation, either frozen or liquid.
Get used to this pattern. It will be the way of the winter!
