The November weather outlook predicts cooler than normal temperatures for this time of year, with temperatures running between 30 and 40, said Northern Illinois University Meteorologist Allen Staver. Daily highs range from 55 degrees at the beginning and 35 degrees by the end of the month. Morning lows begin near 40 degrees and reach 20 degrees by the evening.
Wind speeds are faster than previous months but are still generally from the South, bringing warmth.
Two inches of snow is normal for this time of year, although many years only received a few flakes. The temperature contrast between land and lake is at a maximum, leading to strong storms over Lake Michigan. Ten days of precipitation are expected for November and winter's cloudiness will begin.
