A warming trend

A warming trend is heading for the region and it will likely hang around into the second week of December. Daytime highs the rest of this week will gradually warm through the 40s reaching 50+ by the weekend. Temperatures the early part of next week will remain warm, then cool down for midweek before warming again toward the weekend.

Our normal high temperatures for late November are in the mid 40s dropping into the lower 40s for early December. With that in mind, you can see from the maps below that the trend for days 6-10 and 11-15 are near or above normal. Don't get too excited yet, however. It's not going to last. Colder air is expected to return the week before Christmas.
