Little foggy out there .

At Granite Falls, MN, county capital for Yellow Medicine County, 84% of daily record high temperatures were set or tied since 2000 and 43% were set or tied since 2020. In addition, 83% of monthly record highs were set or tied since 2000 and 50% of monthly record highs were set or tied since 2020. Climate records go back to January 1893. The concentration of record highs in recent decades is substantial and consistent with a warming climate, as documented in the NCEI data.

Yep

Here are the lowest for the four years hitting record lows (since these graphs started in 1978-9) during the first 10 days of Nov: 2016-7: ~-11 low (+QBO, the only one of these four years with QBO similar to 2026) 2009-10 (El Nino): ~-11 low during Nov 1-10 only (-QBO) 2005-6: ~-12 low (dropping +QBO) 2004-5 (El Nino): ~-13 low (-QBO) The 0Z 10/25/26 progs are suggesting these -11 to -13 dips will likely be exceeded and quite possibly by a wide margin of 5 to 10.

29.5 here. Dry / nice stretch continues. Overall near to above normal with wamest days between thu and Sat mid / upper 70s in the warm spots. First chance of meaningful rain in the 11/2-11/5 period. Ridge still pushing into the Upper MW and Canada so should continue to see overall near to above normal temperatures 11/5 - beyond.

Your house must have lava under it lol.

30 here…another frosty one. To me the sun feels great- you can feel it’s lost a good portion of its potency. And as you said, if the breeze is a little stronger, it negates the suns affect quick.

US National Weather Service State College PA It's not unusual...to have a long, dry stretch of time in Autumn.
