Our recent November weather has featured rather warm temperatures and the month to date average temperature has been somewhere near the 10th to 20th warmest on record. If you ignore the cold forecast next week, one may wonder if we had any chance of setting a warmest November on record. The featured chart attempts to do just that by combing the month to date average temperature for Ames and appending on each previous year for the 19th through 30th period. None of these scenarios are able to top the warmest November of 2001. The cold first day of the month and having seasonal overnight temperatures dug a bit of a hole for the month to date metric to rise out of, if there was any chance of catching 2001.
