November 2021

[Allsnow]

26 already 

[psv88]

With one day left, this november will go in the middle of the pack in my 7 years here. 

2018 and 2019 were much cooler, 2020 much warmer. 

However, the actual low temperature for the month (currently 27 - maybe beaten tonight) is the highest since 2016. 

In 2018 i got down to 13 degrees! I forgot how cold that November was.

Coldest night so far at 23F

They made the decision in the 90s when the office moved to OKX to accept the less accurate readings from Central Park.  
 

But National Weather Service meteorologists say they knew the weather
readings in the park would never be as keenly accurate as the ones at
the airports where guidelines prevent foliage from being within 100 feet
of the station.

and no one wants to clear the foliage?  Central Park is so huge why would it so bad if they cleared all the trees within a 30 feet radius of the equipment?

Get a federal mandate to do it so they can do it over the objections of whomever is in charge of making those decisions locally.  If the federal govt can come in and nab a police union leader for corruption they should be able to get a few trees knocked down.

I thought it pretty strange that our low temps have been hanging out in the low 30s a lot, like it's some barrier we can't cross.  Typically we get into the mid 20s by late November even in the city and local airports.

Morning thoughts…

Today will be partly sunny and continued cooler than normal. High temperatures will likely reach the lower and middle 40s in most of the region. Likely high temperatures around the region include:

New York City (Central Park): 40°

Newark: 44°

Philadelphia: 47°

Normals:

New York City: 30-Year: 49.0°; 15-Year: 49.4°

Newark: 30-Year: 49.6°; 15-Year: 50.1°

Philadelphia: 30-Year: 50.6°; 15-Year: 51.1°

The cool weather will continue through tomorrow.

The last day of November is averaging 37degs.(33/41), or -3.

Dec. 01-16 too embarassing to calculate---10/16 days in the 50's though----today the lowest of the next 16 too???

Month to date is  46.6[-1.6].       November will end at  46.3[-1.7].

Reached 42 here yesterday.     Some wet snow fell about 1pm.

Today:   41-43, wind w., cloudy, small chance again of a snow shower.

34*(63%RH) here at 6am.     35* at 7am.      39* at 9am.      40* at 10am.     41* at 11am.      40* at Noon.       41* again by 3pm.      42* at 6pm.

Temperature plummeted here last night down to 22 degrees.

Westhampton currently at 16.

Top 10 driest November as the fast Pacific flow didn’t let many storms amplify.

why is it so hard to get any lower than this? to be fair we barely got below freezing here too

LGA probably had a wind from the water which is still well above freezing. The extreme north shore was also struggling to get below freezing here. I think I got down to 23 a few miles south of the sound. 

[Cfa]

Got down to 26 with very heavy frost. Coldest temp of the season, on the very last day of the season (meteorologically).

[SnoSki14]

Fast Pacific flow probably helped keep us colder than we would've been this month as it prevented big inland cutters from forming which would've torched us.

[MJO812]

Incoming snow showers

[bluewave]

Another top 5 warmest fall from the Mid-Atlantic to New England.

[Tatamy]

Steady light snow with visibility of about a mile.  35*

and here we've gotten to 30-31 a few times but never any lower than that

[MJO812]

Flurries here in Brooklyn 

[NorthShoreWx]

Got down to 24 here last night.  Takes a very calm night or even a very light southerly breeze to decouple here with the water temperature this warm.  We're about 2 miles from the Sound, or closer if you count the local "fjord".

Congrats..they made it down to 27 this morning.

Probably won't see that number again until after the solstice

If they have not gotten to freezing yet, they are not a good representation of our area,at all.

[BxSnowWx37]

[ForestHillWx]

Light snow here.

It’s representative of all our local stations on the water. The SSTs have been running very warm. Plus the CAA hasn’t been very impressive this month due to the strong Pacific influence.

Very true.  I'll often look at the private weather stations on wundermap and the difference between those within a mile or so of the water and those farther inland has been large.  I actually had about a two week longer growing season than places a mile south of here.  FWIW, I think similar happens along the Lake Ontario shore.
