A BIG CHILL TO START NOVEMBER...

I STILL NEED YOUR HELP. So far 256 of you have made a voluntary $12 dollar donation to TSwails.com. If we can get 145 more, this train keeps on chugging. Thanks to your generous donations to date, we are on our way and with just a little more help we're going to achieve our goal. All I'm asking is that if you enjoy the site and see value in it, please consider a voluntary subscription. I'm asking $12.00 dollars for a year. That's $1 dollar a month or 3 cents a blog if you consider the fact there were 450 posts issued over the past year. The site requires a significant commitment of time and resources and every donation, whatever the size is deeply appreciated. I just need a little help to cover the expenses. Click on the link below if you can assist or or need additional information. I thank you for your support and consideration.

November is starting off with a real fall chill. Temperatures will be below normal for the first week or two and that will include many nights with below freezing temperatures. This is because of troughiness in the upper levels of the atmosphere that is leading to northwest flow:

This will lead to a dry and cool pattern through the week.

Monday we'll have plenty of sunshine with temperatures hanging out below 50 degrees across most of the Upper Midwest:

Temperatures will then dip below freezing Monday night:

And we basically copy and paste that forecast through the week with some minor variations in the temperatures. Tuesday will be a little cooler:

And Tuesday night will be a hard freeze in many spots with light winds and clear skies:

Temperatures will increase slightly by the weekend as a ridge builds in the upper levels of the atmosphere:

That will point to temperatures running above normal for the second week of November:

It'll still be cool, but we'll see some improvement in about a week!
