Your Weather News @ November 2026 Edition

Today's numbers here in the desert: High 80°, Low 57°, Humidity 44%, Breeze 7 MPH. No clouds. We did develop a few clouds in the valley yesterday afternoon, but no rain. Last night after dark, I could see some flashing in the sky far off in the mountains to the NE.. It's always fun to watch (from a good distance). Stay safe..... Jim

@mecsw500, I think most people don't know or think about the elevation of a vast area in the Western U.S. Denver is always referred to as The Mile High City. But the Salt Lake City area is nearly as high. Flagstaff, AZ is over 7,000 feet in elevation. A lot of the Western U.S. is high desert, with forests mixed in and even higher mountains. At those elevations, even what might be considered a minor weather event can bring BIG changes. Back in my days of seasonally commuting between Washington and Arizona, in early October one year, I climbed out of Pendleton, OR. up onto the high plateau of the Blue Mountains, then ran into a blizzard, with vehicles sliding off the road left and right. The weather this time of year can be challenging...

Here in the Valley of the Sun (at about 1,500 elevation), it's sunny with a few clouds forming in the afternoon. Temperatures for today and the next 10 days are pretty consistent, with daytime highs about 80° and nighttime lows about 60°. No rain in the forecast, but there could be a few pop-up scattered showers, mainly in the mountains. Stay safe..... Jim

Yes, we are high up. The weather up at 9,000 to 12,000 feet in the mountains can have tons of snow, whilst we here in the valley where I'm at, at about 5,000 feet, get rain or nothing, at this time of year.

I love the snow, as long as it stays in the mountains. My wife is from PA, so any little blip on the landscape is a mountain. Out here in the Mountain West, the Rockies and the Wasatch etc, we have proper mountains rather than just big hills. Well, that's what I tell her.

It's funny, where I live now here is higher than any place in the British Isles where I was born. Back there 5,000 feet would be really high, out here it's just ground level. The mountain roads peak higher than any point in the British Isles all over again, and that's not anywhere near their tops.

Forecast is for 70’s today, going for a ride after church. It’s kind of crazy, but I’m still harvesting peppers in the garden.

Well, here in Vermont, the current temp is 43 degrees. A quick moving system will bring scattered showers tonight and Monday morning. A few mountain snow showers are possible. Lows tonight will be steady in the mid 30's to the mid 40's. Showers will taper off Monday afternoon, possibly being just cloudy and dry by late afternoon. Highs will be in the 40's. Yet another small quick-moving system will pass through Tuesday with additional light scattered showers, though this time they are expected to bring cloudy skies afterward, and then an isolated shower can't be ruled out. Highs will be in the upper 40's and low 50's with Lows down in the 30's.


They are monitoring a potential coastal system for late week and next weekend. Thursday itself will be mainly dry, though a rain/snow mix is expected to spread over the region during the evening. Some of the computer models disagree on the location of this storm, and the event is still several days away, so things can change. At this time, a rain/snow mix is possible for Friday, Saturday, and even Sunday, though the brunt of it will likely be felt on Friday, with the precipitation becoming lighter over the weekend. Temps look like they'll a bit too warm for an 'all snow' event, but some accumulation is possible in the higher elevations, and the valleys are more likely to get rain. Again, a lot can change in the days ahead. They are keeping an eye on this.

The weather here in the desert continues to be just about perfect for outdoor activities. At 11 AM it was 77°. The computer says a 5 MPH breeze, but I don't think it's that high... it's maybe 2 MPH. There are no clouds. High today will be a comfortable 82° and the overnight low will be 58°. Humidity is 35%. Today is the 17th day that I haven't needed any artificial temperature controls in the house, either cooling or heating. We old desert dwellers really love sunshine reflecting off shiny paint and chrome. The number of old timers owing hot rods and other classics is amazing. Winter car gatherings and shows are in full swing now. There are 3 shows that I attend on a semi-regular weekly basis. Even though my old blue pony isn't a true classic or even a hot rod, it still gets lots of positive complements. It's just a fun little car that I enjoy keeping shiny and near show-room condition. Stay safe..... Jim

Hi @Little Blue. We will try to enjoy the snow.
And we will try to stay healthy, too


Well, here in Vermont we had a very quintessential 'unsettled November weather pattern' that rolled across Vermont and the North Country, with clouds and a few showers lingering tonight. Those showers will become more widespread on Tuesday and a few could bring Gusty Winds and some graupel. We will have a break in the wet weather Wednesday before cooler air settles in later this week. A late-week system remains uncertain, but mountain snow showers are possible heading into the weekend.

Tonight the temps are in the low 40's with a few isolated showers possible.
Tuesday's Daytime highs will be in the lower 50's and will be mostly cloudy skies with a 70% chance of scattered showers. A few heavier showers could bring brief gusty winds and soft snow pellets in the highest terrain, while mountain summits and Eastern slopes will be especially breezy.

Tuesday's nighttime temps will be in the low 30's, with mostly cloudy skies with a 60% chance of patchy showers and gusts up to 22 mph. A trace of snow or soft snow pellets is possible at highest elevations.


Wednesday's temps are expected to be in the upper 40's and it will be mostly cloudy with a 30% chance of patchy drizzle, especially early. Conditions will gradually dry out as the day goes on.

Night time temps will be in the lower 30's. Skies are expected to turn mostly clear as cooler air settles in.

Thursday, they are watching a late - Week System
Daytime highs in the upper 40's and mostly sunny skies are expected with a 30 % chance of mountain snow showers and valley rain showers. The path of a developing system remains unclear.

Nighttime Low's will be in the 30's, skies will be partly cloudy, with a 30% of mountain snow or valley rain.

Friday, the temps will be in the 40's and it will be partly sunny and cooler, with a 30% chance of isolated drizzle.

Night time temps in the low 30s. Partly cloudy skies continue, with a chance of scattered mountain showers and valley rain increasing to 50% overnight..

Saturday brings a 50% chance of mountain snow and valley rain under partly sunny skies with a high of 42. The chance continues Saturday night with a low of 36, then decreases to 30% Sunday as highs reach the upper 40's. Mountain snow amounts remain uncertain, but some wet snow is likely in the mountains this weekend. Sunday night turns mostly clear with lows in the mid 30's followed by partly sunny skies and a high in the upper 40's .

Rode out for brunch this morning. The weather was crisp to start, but the sunshine was nice and warm. It was an even nicer ride back.

It's supposed to be like this all week. Time to take advantage of what is usually the nicest time of the year, until the Winter comes.

Numbers for today are 83/60, humidity 23%, 3 MPH breeze, and no clouds. We expect to begin cooling down on Friday with highs only getting into the 60s by this time next week. Looks like it'll be time to crank up the furnace for the first time of the season. Stay safe..... Jim

Well, here in Vermont we will be having the first Wintry system this Thursday and Friday.

Our stretch of quieter weather gives way to a storm system bringing rain and mountain snow to Vermont and the North Country by Thursday. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from 10:00 am Thursday through 10:00 am Friday (Here we GO!) for portions of the Adirondacks and the Southern Green Mountains. Snow showers may reach some Valley floors Thursday night, through most lower elevations should see little to no snow accumulation.

Most locations furthest from Lake Champlain can expect a dusting to an inch of snow; with 1 to 2 inches possible below 1,200 feet; and 2 to 5 inches expected above that. Snow-covered roads have decreased from earlier forecasts, especially for the valleys, and the exact amounts will depend on the storm system's track and how quickly the colder air arrives.

Tonight will be mostly cloudy, with a low of 35 degrees. Rain and mountain snow begin Thursday morning, with highs in the upper 40's. As the temps fall Thursday evening, snow levels will drop, allowing a mix of snow showers to reach some valleys overnight. The low temp will be 32, with mountain snow showers lingering into Friday.

Friday will turn mostly sunny with highs in the low 40's. A few scattered valley mix and mountain snow showers are possible Friday night, with lows of 34. Showers remain possible Saturday, mainly as rain in the valleys and snow in the mountains, with a high of 42 and a low of 37. A few showers may linger Sunday, especially in the mountains, with a high of 44 and a low of 37.

High pressure brings a quiet start to next week. Monday will be partly sunny, with highs in the mid 40's and lows in the low 30's. Tuesday will be mostly sunny, with highs in the upper 40's and lows in the mid 30's, followed by more sunshine and highs near 50's on Wednesday.

Everyone stay safe and healthy!

Also, enjoy time with family and friends

It was in the mid-70s today here in SoCal yesterday, and today is expected to get back into the 80s. Of course Friday it's supposed to rain but still be in the mid-70s. More rain next week with temps in the mid-60s. We'll see how close the weather guessers are this time.
