These are 850 MB temp anomalies. 850 temps are a good indication of what surface temps could be like. The red means well above average.

It certainly has been a nice fall so far.  We’ve had a couple of very chilly days, but overall we have been sitting average or above since fall began.

With Halloween and November starting this weekend, a lot of people are thinking winter.  Not so fast!

The map above shows us the start of November and it’s looking WARM.  High pressure sitting in the perfect location to pump in the warm air means we’ll be going well above average.

As November starts our average high temperatures drop steadily into the 50s and through the 40s.  By the end of the month our average high temps are in the lower to middle 40s.

A closer view (the map below) shows one more close up example of possible highs next Wednesday. Mid to upper 60s.  I would not be surprised to see 70s next week around here.

Despite turning the clocks back and that earlier sunset, lets not count autumn out just yet.
