AUSTIN (KXAN) — Sure it hasn’t felt like fall has even started in Central Texas, but we’re already getting a look at the forecast for the final month of meteorological fall. A reminder, meteorological winter begins Dec. 1 and lasts through the end of February.
The preliminary November forecast was just released on Thursday from NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center, and it calls for near normal rainfall, but a continuation of above average temperatures.
What is normal in November?
November high temperatures typically drop from the upper 70s to start the month down into the upper 60s by the end of the month.
Lows typically drop from the mid 50s into the mid 40s by late in the month.
November is usually our fourth coolest month of the year and our sixth wettest month with 2.92″ of rain on average.
Drought keeps worsening
The most updated Drought Monitor shows the introduction of ‘Extreme’ Level 3 out of 4 drought into parts of the Austin metro as our rapidly worsening drought continued.
Without wetter-than-normal conditions to counteract our recent drying, we don’t anticipate any meaningful improvements in the drought next month.
