81 F at 8:42 PM EST. High was 87 F with low supposedly 75 F. That would be a bit chilly and I doubt it. Probably 77 F if we are lucky.

It was surprisingly cold last night.

Don’t like the huge shift in temps.

Was 77f yesterday woke up to 40 at the firehouse and 42 at home. Right now it's 51f and a stark difference to the muggy yesterday. Don't know our real feel yesterday but it felt warmer than 77f due to the humidity. We are looking solid for our first frost tonight.

It was 82°F yesterday, then a cold front with thunderstorms came, and right now it is 52°F. Looks like we'll be getting our first frost tonight.

46°F right now, supposed to drop into the mid/upper 30’s with the potential for frost. High temp was 69°F but it occurred overnight before the cold front came in.

Interesting paradigm this morning in Florida at 10:28 AM EST:

Tallahassee- 54 F

Jacksonville Beach- 67 F

Daytona- 75 F

Melbourne- 81 F

Vero- 82 F

Stuart- 83F

WPB South- 85F plus

Saw a 47 F in Crestview in the Panhandle. Seems like it just cannot get down here...

No frost this morning, but it came close.  Weather app said it was 35F and my personal weather station said it was 37F.  They've raised the temperature for Sunday night a bit.  If we don't get a frost this weekend, it'll probably happen next weekend.  Currently 53F, but only forecast to reach 61F today.

Ended up at 34°F last night with light frost on cold surfaces, no freeze yet thankfully, but next Fri/Sat look like winter with highs in the low 40’s and a chance of snow, not looking forward to it at all.

We got a light frost the past two days, none of my plants except for my tomatos and elephant ears in the front (fully exposed) seem majorly damaged by the frost, but everything frost tender is still a bit damaged unless under canopy.

No frost yet, but under a frost advisory tonight.  I guess we'll see.  If it does, I hope it's only in the open yard.  The cannas and cestrum are still blooming, but it usually takes a freeze to damage the cestrum.

Had a light patchy frost yesterday morning.  Mainly on the vehicles and the grass out in the open yard.  The tender perennials have been spared for a few more days at least.  Currently 64F, but supposed to reach 71F today.

Currently 88F at 2:18 pm MST. Only dropped to 59 this morning. Could we make a run at 90 in the next hour?.  Some peculiar, puffy looking things in the sky atm. Think they're called Clouds. Been awhile since we've seen 'em. 

Might drop some of that wet stuff we rarely see around here lately.  Rain? as some people call it?.. late tonight / tomorrow. Only a 10-15% chance in the valley though. 

 Back to the low/ mid 80s after that.. for now at least.

Interesting low temps NWS has forecast for Brownsville and McAllen for tomorrow morning. As of 7pm, winds are still ESE and current temp is 78F in Brownsville and 84F in McAllen. Hard to believe such a massive drop is going to occur overnight.

They're calling for 22F 3-5 consecutive days in west NC starting tomorrow at dawn. Seems winter this year isn't pulling any punches.  In fact, it's getting ahead of itself.

Almost 2pm in TX, absolutely crazy for mid November (especially for RGV). It's actually colder down south (!). Though the pattern is supposed to reverse tonight with clear skies (FREEZE) north of the Laredo-Corpus line while clouds and weakening winds in far southern TX will keep temperatures from falling (temps are actually forecast to rise a bit through the late afternoon/evening.)

Austin: 41F
Houston: 45F
Galveston: 45F
San Antonio: 41F
Corpus Christi: 38F
Laredo: 36F
McAllen: 39F
South Padre Island: 38F
Brownsville: 38F

Currently 33F at the local weather station 36F at my house and 32F at work. We bottomed out at 24.9F last night!!! Thankfully the ground where my palms are never froze. Winter has come early it seems and its not holding back at all!

I'm one of the lucky few, as the mountains are protecting us from the Arctic blast.  50F overnight and high of 60F today.  Fingers crossed for the all the palms in marginal locations.

Posted

Lowest that I saw was 34, but frost on the car. My car showed 35 closer to the coast with much less frost observed. 

Posted

The thermometer next to my garage bottomed out at 35. The one in the open yard shows a minimum of 33. No frost. This is considerably colder than our January temps. At least next week it’s supposed to get close to normal for us.

8.37am and already 30c, it's going to be a warm day.

69f at 10:35pm after another day in the 80s.. Trend is your friend for now, but changes are afoot mid/ later on next week..  Rain?,  maybe.. Perhaps something else too. 

Keep an eye on those models, west coasters. :winkie:

There is another low level heatwave developing over the Top End.... The RAAF Base at Tindal ( 20klm south of Katherine ) has 3 consecutive 43c days in the forecast this weekend... if they come off they will break the all time record for the site.

And a record breaking day for November over at Mandora, WA
Mandora , WA reached 47.1 degrees today, a November record for them.

Temps all across the country are pretty warm and it's only November, not looking forward to January/February.

38F at home with the high only getting to 45F. Our average(for entire month) for November is 57F for highs 35F for lows to give you an idea. 22 miles east of home at work its only 30f same high forecast.  So this is surprisingly COLD and well bellow average. Kinda depressing to be honest.

I'm seeing this in the long term forecast, looks like  a gradual cool down with a return to more normal precipitation pattern (ie frequent).  November has been very dry this year so far and historically is our wettest month.  December is the coldest so hoping for an average Dec/Jan.
