Record November Warmth

This has been a very warm start to the month of November.  Temperatures rose into the seventies (70's) four of the first five days of the month with a record high  of seventy-six (76) degrees being established on Thursday. Wednesday high of 78 was one degree shy of the record and is the fifth warmest temperature recorded in Cleveland during any November. A strong cold front is moving through the area today and temperatures this weekend will fall back to seasonable levels before rising above normal next week. The storm system that moved through the southern tier of the nation last week ended up being responsible for a small tornado outbreak as nearly three  dozen tornados touched down from Texas east to Georgia. Thankfully no deaths were attributed to the tornadoes.  

Today a strong cold front is moving through the region. High temperatures will be very warm today, upper sixties (60's), before much cooler and drier air moves in overnight. Saturday will be a much cooler though very seasonable day as high temperatures will be in the lower fifties (50's) Light lake effect rain showers will be possible over Northeast Ohio into Northwest Pennsylvania.

Sunday will be the coolest day of the weekend as high temperatures will only rise to around fifty(50) degrees. Beginning on Monday the area will be experiencing warm air advection so temperatures will rise into the middle and upper fifties (50's).

On Wednesday the area will be located well inside the warm sector of a storm system approaching from the west. High temperatures will be in the lower sixties (60's) and conditions should generally be dry. Locations to the west should be on alert as severe weather may be possible over the Central and Southern Plains.

On Thursday the storm system to the west will be approaching the local region. It will continue to strengthen and will be companied with showers and possible thunderstorms. High temperatures will be dependent on the amount of cloud cover but should at least be in the upper fifties(50's). Once the front moves through seasonable temperatures will return for the weekend. Arctic air appears to remain bottled up far to the north so air of pacific nature will continue to dominate the country.
