Rounding Out November

We have ended the 11th month of the year on a rather mild note, with a high temperature of 50°---just about 9° above average!  Not too shabby.  Here's a look at some stats from the month.

The warmest high temperature of the month occurred on November 17th at 71°.  The coldest high was 11/23 with a high temperature of 25°.  The coldest temperature of the month occurred on the morning of November 24th, where the low temperature was just 8°.

As far as precipitation goes-- we saw 1.22" of liquid equivalent (rain & melted snow).  That's 1.34" below the normal amount of 2.56".  We also saw a little snow;  0.60" worth which fell on Nov. 11th, with a trace being recorded (at QC Int'l) on the 22nd and 25th.

And of course we can't forget about the deadly severe weather outbreak that occurred on our 71° day, Nov. 16th.

  Hundreds of severe weather reports came in that day, including the powerful EF-4 tornado (winds of 190mph) that struck the town of Washington, IL.  As you can see, many parts of the Midwest and Ohio River Valley were affected by severe weather that day.  When the temperature is 71° in November, you know the weather is going to be active.
