November 1998 Saint 云 天气 Summary

The warm weather of the fall continued during November 在圣. 云.
平均气温33度.7 degrees was four 高于正常度数
这个月. This was especially remarkable given the relatively cold
这个月的上半月. However, the extraordinary warmth at the end
of the month more than made up for it. 今年的天气特别暖和
感恩节周末. The high temperature on Thanksgiving Day 1998 was 57.
The only Thanksgiving Day which was warmer occurred on November 26, 1914
当最高点达到59度时. For the four-day 感恩节周末,
1998 marked the first time that all four days had highs of over 50 degrees
(only 1909, 1914, 1960, 和1984 had two 50-degree highs during the weekend,
although the two days before Thanksgiving in 1914 had broken 50 degrees,
这已经是连续4天了。. The average high for the 1998 Thanksgiving
周末是56岁.5，平均最低为28.产生平均温度的
42岁的周末.4 degrees, easily topping the 感恩节周末 of
1914 when the average temperature was 38.5度. 这些读数是
typical of mid-April or mid-October with the high temperatures averaging 25
高于正常度数. Two daily records were broken during the holiday
weekend in 1998 with the 58 high on the 27th and the 59 high on the 29th.
The six consecutive days with a high of 50 degrees or warmer in 1998 is also
a record for the second half of November. 然而，这些记录并非如此
the warmest for so late in the year since the record high for December 6
63岁(设定在1939年).

Precipitation was above normal, mainly due to the storm of November
9和10，下降了1.05 inches of melted precipitation at the airport
和1.在SCSU 41英寸. The normal precipitation 这个月 of November
在圣. 云是1.27英寸. This storm also produced wind gusts up to 64
MPH at SCSU and produced a record low pressure for the state of Minnesota.
Much of the precipitation fell in the form of wet snow. 按照官方说法,
1.10日降雨量为4英寸. 估计有2个.0英寸厚的雪
9th, much of which melted before observers could record it the next morning.
While this will be stricken from the 国家气象局 records, I am
retaining it since it lines up with my observations early on the 10th. 自
the NWS will no longer keep snow records, I believe the 3.离这里4英寸
storm is more accurate and will retain it in the St. 云历史记录.
Still, the mild weather left us with about half the normal snowfall
for this year 和1/3 of last November's total. 即使是在苏福尔斯
received over a foot of snow from that storm, and in Grand Forks, which has
already received half of its normal snowfall total for the year so far (more
than 21 inches), they are down to bare ground.

总体而言，秋季(9月11日).11月.) of 1998 will go down as the 9th mildest
fall on record and the warmest fall since 1963, which was the mildest fall
一直以来. Looking back upon the entire 3 month period, only the first
3 weeks of November was colder than normal and the fall was capped by the
warmest Thanksgiving holiday 在圣. 云计算的历史. 九月的干燥
and October could not be made up by the wetter conditions in November, so
the fall ended up more than an inch and a half below normal in rainfall.

With another storm in the southwest US and a jet stream from the
mild southwest forecast for mid-week, it certainly looks like December will
从十一月结束的地方开始. And, for those of you who have been nagging me
since Labor Day about how cold this winter will be, the National 天气
Service official winter forecast issued last week shows a 5% better than
random chance for a colder than normal winter for only northern North Dakota
and northwestern Minnesota in the Northern Plains. 无论.
