November Weather Forecast Should Make Some Happy
November is in full swing, and if you’re someone who doesn’t like the cold and snow, the November weather forecast should make you happy. On the opposite side of that, if you’re someone who loves early snow, this forecast isn’t for you. Regardless, most of the U.S. will see similar weather trends this November, so buckle up for a mild, not wild, month.
November Weather Forecast
The experts at the weather channel have released their November 2024 weather forecast, and it’s pretty warm across the board.
“Those hoping November might deliver increasing bouts of early-season snow and cold might have to be patient since the forecast is shaping up to be a mild one in much of the Lower 48,” they stated, adding that “fall’s final full month could be warmer than average in much of the central and eastern U.S. A broad area from the Rockies to the Appalachians and New England is favored to see above-average temperatures in November, according to the updated outlook released Wednesday by The Weather Company and Atmospheric G2.”
The hottest areas of the country, or at least the areas that will see the biggest divergence from the norm, are parts of the Midwest and Plains, including from Minneapolis-St. Paul to Oklahoma City and Dallas-Fort Worth. All three of those cities have already experienced a top 10 warmest fall as of Oct. 28, and Minneapolis-St. Paul are expected to have their warmest autumn on record, the Weather Channel notes.
Of course, just because we have a mild forecast for this fall, that doesn’t mean it won’t ever be cold. It will just be warmer than expected. If anything, think of it as true winters being a bit shorter this season across the country. No matter where you live, chances are, your November won’t quite feel like November this time around. Time will tell if that trend continues for December.
Specific Regions, from the Midwest to the Northeast
As with the rest of the country, November is expected to be warmer in the Midwest than average, according to the weather experts. The Midwest is also in for a wetter November. Precipitation is expected to be near or slightly above average “from the Great Lakes to the Ohio and mid-Mississippi valleys and portions of the Central and Southern Plains.” It was dry in these areas in October, so that’s a change.
For the Northeast, November is also looking to be warmer, with parts of the state looking at slightly more precipitation and other parts slightly less. In general, precipitation looks average for Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, but all three states are looking to have a warm month.
