Temperature Departure from Normal November 2009
November 2009 completely reversed the pattern seen in the previous month!
The weather started out great and completely different than the month we had just finished. A pattern shift allowed temperatures to climb to above normal for the first half of the month. Two mostly dry fronts swept through on the 2nd and the 4th. The period from the 5 to the 9th was indeed very warm andin particular the weekend of the 7-8th was very warm and pleasant with highs in the middle or even upper 70’s! The highest Springfield temperature was 76 degrees on the 7th.
The second week of the month was mild and uneventful too. And dry, Springfield didn’t record any measurable precipitation until the 15-18th. In fact, this stretch of 4 days comprised the entire month’s precipitation total of 1.13″ which is 3.33″ below normal for the month.
A cool snap finally hit from the 16th to the 18th. A second rush of cold air arrived just before Thanksgiving with temperatures once again rising to much above normal right after the holiday. The final day was cool and the start of a chilly run of weather that would define the beginning of December.
In all, 22 of the 30 days saw high temperatures rise to sixty or higher, 5 were seventy or higher!
