Discussion
Numerous daily low temperature records have been set this morning across the eastern third of the nation and there have already been some all-time low temperatures recorded for the month of November. Despite some sunshine today, temperatures will struggle here to reach the upper 30’s which may be the “lowest” high temperatures ever recorded here on November 13th. The unusual early season chill will only slowly moderate on Thursday and Friday and then take a step backwards on Saturday following the passage of another cold front which may knock ten degrees off the afternoon highs between Friday and Saturday. By early next week, we’ll have to watch low pressure near the coastline as it tracks northeastward over the western Atlantic.
