Monthly Review
This November has had a very interesting temperature pattern.  The temperature has shown extreme variance during
the month.  As the month started temperatures were slightly colder than normal but that quickly disapated as the
temperatures climbed to record levels. From the 4th through the 15th temperatures soared with the average
departure from the normal average of 12.8°.  A record high was set on the 7th with a temperature of 87°.  Thankfully
a front moved through the area on the 16th dropping the temperature to a high of 58° while the day before the high
was 83°. From the 16th though the 22nd temperatures were below normal, but the air once again began to warm up.
Beginning on the 23rd, temperature again reached record levels with record highs on the 23rd and 27th with a high
temperature of 84° on both days.  A cold front pushed through the area bringing some much needed rain on the 26th
and 27th and lowering temperatures to below normal once again.  The month rainfall total was 0.99" and is -2.09"
below normal.  The annual total is now 27.98", -8.46" below normal for the year, as drought conditions continued to
persist throughout the month.
