The month of November calls for cloudy and damp weather, but not as cold as the months to follow, says Allen E. Staver, a meteorologist at Northern Illinois University. November should have five clear days, and 10 days producing precipitation. Fortunately, only one or two of those days will produce snow.
Thunderstorms can still occur, but fog is rare.
More than half of the mornings are expected to have temperatures below 32 degrees, and toward the end of the month a few days will have afternoon temperatures that stay below freezing, says Staver. Daytime highs range from the fifties at the beginning of November to the low forties at the end of the month. Record lows at the end of the month are just below zero. The wind will be from the south and not too strong, says Staver. Daylight continues to shorten as temperatures head towards winter readings.
