November starts with fantastic weather. Temperatures are in the mid to upper 60s and could hit 70-degrees on Wednesday and Thursday. Typical high temperatures are only in the 50s!
An end to our dry streak
It's been 13 days since the last time it rained. Changes are on the way. Rain will likely return Thursday evening into Friday, but there is still uncertainty about how heavy the rain will be or if it will last into next weekend. If we can go through Thursday without rain, that will be an 18 day streak without measurable precipitation.
