Add another great weekend to the overall (majority) streak going back to Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor day etc..
Today looks great! Made it down to 46 last night and likely make a run at the low 70s here.
I recall that and some readings (in Staten Island at the tme) in 1993. Will needs to check but thought it was later in the month too, making it really impressive before the change locked in.
Edit - saw you replied. Was 79 here as well that warm Nov 15th day in 1993. 80 at LGA/EWR
1950 saw the month (nov) start off hot 85/84 in Newark.
The next period to watch for strong warmth to record highs (in the extreme) would be starting net weekend 10/20 - 10/23 period. Pending on how things progress we could be looking 75 - 80 range, perhaps above. We'll have to watch the center and positioning of the ridge and with clouds and any S / SE flow developing to limit the potential.
That timeframe to watch for any shot at upper 70s to low 80s would be Oct 20th / 21s. It'll be interesting to track as guidance is suggesting heights build and 850s peak in the 10-15c range. Get enough sunshine and its very doable.
