November 2025

Gets cold next week. Then the trough shifts east, and we get back to warm beautiful SE ridge weather. I kinda love it (what's wrong me, I'm going warminista?). I bet we wedge a bit at times with the -NAO but the western trough hangs out mid-late November. I guess it's the fall leaves, sunshine, and low 70s, it's just really nice. Maybe December we convert to winter, but I'm enjoying November. 🏝️🏜️🔥🌞

The rumors of torch are not necessarily to be believed. 11 days ago for this potentially record challenging cold shot:

12z Canadian is absolutely frigid. 850s down to -12 to -13c over north ga. Highs might not get above freezing for places like gainesville Monday. Atlanta/west ga would certainly struggle to do so also. If that verified it would truly be extraordinary.

Rather hot in the USVI today. I hope they're alright!

Most of lower elevation NC officially has a snow mean in the short-ish term for the first time this season. Credit to Mitch West for the image lol.

Most of the members are dry, but there are a handful of relative bangers that beef up the totals. Hard to imagine this producing accumulating snowfall for most unless this thing really goes all out and tries to go neg. tilt somehow, which seems quite unlikely given the kicker (i.e. trailing energy) that will be shoving it eastward. Still, I think some snow showers are definitely possible east of the mountains and who knows, a lucky few might even get lucky enough to see the grass whiten up.

One thing all the ops and ens agree on. QPF is paltry throughout most of NOV. No surprise there, but we need this to reverse before winter starts closing out come March.
I do not see it reversing. We have a 1985-86 repeat coming with drought.
 
The fall foliage here is headed to a significantly earlier peak than average. This is the earliest I can recall in many years! Recent years have peaked in the last week of Nov or Dec.

Anyone else have a fall leaf report?

The leaves do seem to have turned a bit early here, east of Atlanta, as well. I can't recall the last time so much foliage was still on the trees with temps in the mid twenties, as looks likely here Tuesday morning.

Most years, I'm still scooping leaves out of the pool deep into December. I bet most of my trees will be bare by Thanksgiving.

yeah I’m noticing the same thing here. I’m in a wooded area and at this rate, all the trees around me are on pace to be bare by December and I’m typically blowing leaves till about 2 weeks before Christmas
 
The subtropical ridge has been ridiculously resilient over me this fall.

Just about every modeled western trough I’ve seen since late Sep has bad habit of disappearing once it hits the medium range.

Also looks like we are about to lose another one here too near the end of next week. Maybe we can finally get a decent western trough and synoptic scale wind event late in November before we probably go back to our regularly scheduled programming of Desert SW ridging.

Big winter incoming. Of course, you'd never know it given the 99% of winter forecasts being put out going straight Nina.

I was in DC earlier this week and it was exactly peak there. They have the exact same trees there as we do here with a few exceptions. I'd call it late in our area with a crap season over all with all the dry weather leading up. Its not bad to have some dry spells and cool nights, but extended drought kinda kills it.
 
Was a blocky run of the Euro AI Ensemble. Days 0 to 15

Certainly wouldn’t kill us to put some snow on the ground over the Rockies, Upper Midwest, and into the Lakes late Nov. The -PNA late month will help

-PNA/NAOs are notoriously difficult patterns to nail down wrt sensible weather impacts in the Carolinas. A sneaky CAD can show up in the medium range completely ruin what once looked like a good warm spell
 
About 30 hours out, this is a good look! Low Saturday night 24, high of 32 Sunday. 18 degrees Sunday night, windchills in single digits!! It’s about time! Clipper season is here! RIP The Old Farmers Almanac! 😢IMG_3020.jpeg

No need to post GFS, hardly has anything for even the mtns. Out to lunch still. The Short Range models will get to start taking a bite at things latter today.

QPF still looking not so good through November. However, and its way out there, so boulder of salt. Looks like the last week of the month we can get something going from Texas across SE and up seaboard. I would put the odds higher than normal. Because if anyone can stay bone dry a whole month and make it dump rain on one day out of the month. It will be us and happen on Thanksgiving Day. Wait for it!
 
Both overnight and morning ICON, overnight UK and even the end of the RGEM this morning supports the Euro solution.
It's rare for the modeling to support snow from these sorts of systems beyond the mountains in GA at least, so to see them going into this area makes it more interesting, so it's not just some low level flurries.

I'd say we peaked at my house earlier this week. We had enough rain to keep it pretty but not quite as good as it could have been. I was at my project in Blairsville yesterday and they are way past peak. Still pretty but the only trees with leaves at 2000 feet are the oaks.
