42 / 32 clear. Warmest two days (Mon / Tue) of the next 2 weeks potentially. Mid 50s today, mid - upper 50s, to 60 in the warmer spots on Tuedsy with clouds and light rain. Clouds remain Wed before some moderate rainfall Thu >1.00 inch likely. Much colder by Thanksgiving weekend with a strong rd=idge into the PNW and deep trough into the east to open Dec (1 - 7th / 10 daya). Coldest start to Dec with current forecasts, since 2010.

Looks to end for sure and the period to open Dec looks potentially well below normal. I went back a bit but would need some confirmation that the current forecasts would be the coldest open (1-7th) of Dec since 2010.
