The dry November has been aided by warm temperatures for the majority of the month. Although November started off with snow and below average temperatures, 9 out of the 13 days have featured above average temperatures.
The average high temperature this time of year is about 50°F, so there are going to be more above average temperatures throughout the week.
There will be a rain chance moving into the Valley towards the end of the week which will bring an end to the dry conditions and above average temperatures.
