MUCH OF NOVEMBER FEATURED WARMER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES, WITH A
COLD SNAP RIGHT AT THE END OF THE MONTH AFTER THANKSGIVING. QUITE A
DRAMATIC SHIFT IN TEMPERATURES WAS OBSERVED FROM THE BEGINNING OF
THE MONTH TO THE END; THE WARMEST TEMPERATURE IN NOVEMBER WAS THE 69
DEGREE HIGH TEMPERATURE ON THE 5TH AND THE COLDEST TEMPERATURE WAS
THE 15 DEGREE LOW THAT OCCURRED ON NOVEMBER 30TH. 23 DAYS IN
NOVEMBER HAD ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES, WHICH LED TO THE AVERAGE
TEMPERATURE IN NOVEMBER BEING WELL ABOVE NORMAL. THE AVERAGE
TEMPERATURE OF 45.3 DEGREES IS 5.5 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. THIS IS THE
11TH WARMEST NOVEMBER ON RECORD AND THE WARMEST SINCE 2020.
DESPITE A DRIER THAN NORMAL FALL, THERE WAS A PATTERN SHIFT IN
NOVEMBER THAT LED TO MORE ACTIVE WEATHER TOWARDS THE MIDDLE TO END
OF THE MONTH. SOUTH BEND RECORDED 3.07 INCHES OF PRECIPITATION THIS
MONTH WHICH IS 0.29 INCHES ABOVE NORMAL. THIS TIES WITH 2000 AS THE
48TH WETTEST NOVEMBER ON RECORD. THE HIGHEST SINGLE DAY
PRECIPITATION TOTAL WAS 0.59 INCHES ON NOVEMBER 4TH.
WHILE THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW WAS NOT AS PROLIFIC AS IT WAS 2 YEARS
AGO, SOUTH BEND DID MANAGE TO PICK UP 2.9 INCHES OF SNOW THIS MONTH.
THIS IS 2.2 INCHES BELOW NORMAL AND RANKS AS THE 47TH LEAST SNOWY
NOVEMBER ON RECORD. A MAJORITY OF THE MONTH`S SNOWFALL FELL ON
NOVEMBER 21ST, WHICH HAD 1.9 INCHES.
THERE WERE TWO NEW RECORD WARM LOW TEMPERATURES SET THIS MONTH ON
NOVEMBER 4TH AND 5TH. ON NOVEMBER 4TH, THE LOW TEMPERATURE OF 62
DEGREES TIED THE PREVIOUS DAILY RECORD WARM LOW OF 62 DEGREES, SET
IN 1994. ON NOVEMBER 5TH, THE LOW TEMPERATURE OF 60 DEGREES BROKE
THE PREVIOUS DAILY RECORD LOW TEMPERATURE OF 58 DEGREES, SET IN
1994. IN ADDITION, SOUTH BEND TIED THE ALL-TIME NOVEMBER RECORD WARM
