November Warmth to be followed by Cooler Weather

How does that old saying go..."All good things must come to an end."  High temperatures through the first half of this week will range roughly 15-20 degrees above average!  This is all thanks to a ridge of high pressure and persistant southerly winds that have found a home across the Great Lakes.  That will, however, be changing as we head towards the latter part of the week as a trough of low pressure currently in the west will settle in across much of the northern tier of the U.S.  The maps on the left are the 6-10 Day Outlooks from the Climate Prediction Center and it shows a vast majority of the country falling to below average temperatures for this upcoming weekend and into next week.  It also looks like we'll be right on the edge of above average precipitation as well.  Looking even further into the following week and it appears these cooler temperatures will last into the third week of November.  So enjoy the warmth while it's here!
