November will end warm
Posted Nov24, 2006 at 06:17 PM
Our two-month string of averaging below normal temperatures for the month is over. Already more than a degree above normal for the month at Roanoke Regional Airport, every day remaining in November is likely to be several degrees above the normal high temperatures in the low to mid 50s. I wouldn't even rule out temperatures challenging some record highs in the low to mid 70s on a couple of those days, though mid and upper 60s will be the rule.
Next week is likely to be a very dynamic weather week nationally. A strong low pressure system will be poised to wind up in the nation's heartland, causing a blizzard over the northern Rockies and northern Plains, and touching off heavy rain and severe weather in the South. For a few days, this low will do nothing but pump warm air our way, as we enjoy mostly sunny weather. Late in the week, though, we'll pay the piper as the low drags a strong cold front through, and on the heels of rain, wind and storms, temperatures will take an abrupt tumble to start December.
