Hey Folks,

Maybe... I should say Mild, instead of Warm. Either way I wanted to touch on the crazy November you folks have been seeing in Western Labrador.

Natalie Kalata did a great piece last night about the fact that this November could end up being the Warmest November in quite some time. So I've been crunching some numbers today, looking at both day time High averages and Overall daily averages (Highs & Lows) and the numbers are impressive.

In fact I discovered that this November could end up being one of the Warmest you've seen in the past 50 years!!!

November 2009
-Your normal temperature High for the MONTH as a whole is -4.7. Right now 25 days in... you're looking at an AVERAGE DAYTIME HIGH OF+0.32 degrees.
-Your daily average temperature (Highs & Lows) for the month is -8.6... as of now your sitting at -3!!! Wow.
-So far this November, NOT ONE day time High in the minus double digits.
-Only 3 overnight Low's in the minus double digits
-15 out of the past 25 days, day time highs were ABOVE zero.

WARM IN 2006 & 1969
Looking at the numbers over the past 50 years, the November's of both 2006 and 1969 have been the warmest.
Nov 2006- Avg Daily High: -0.8 / Avg. Daily Temp: -4.3
Nov 1969- Avg Daily High: -0.8 / Avg. Daily Temp: -3.8

* I should mention that November of 1979 data is missing half the month and so was excluded from my comparison.

So here we are 25 days into this month and this November has a chance to beat both 2006 and 1969. But will it hold???

Looking at the forecast over the next 4 days and I'd say there's a very good chance that OVERALL this could be the warmest November in the past 50. With Day time highs and overnight Low's through the weekend expected between -2 and 0. The deciding factor could actually be Sunday night/Monday when some colder air could come sliding back in.

Either way this will be interesting to watch.
