NOVEMBER BEGAN WITH TEMPERATURES THAT AVERAGED FAIRLY CLOSE TO NORMAL
WITH LITTLE IF ANY PRECIPITATION FROM THE 1ST THROUGH THE 11TH. A
BRIEF PERIOD OF MILDER WEATHER OCCURRED FROM THE 12TH THROUGH THE
14TH WHEN TEMPERATURES GENERALLY AVERAGED ABOUT 10 TO 15 DEGREES
ABOVE NORMAL. TEMPERATURES RETURNED TO NEAR NORMAL LEVELS DURING THE
3RD WEEK OF NOVEMBER BEFORE ANOTHER BRIEF WARMUP WITH TEMPERATURES
AVERAGING 5 TO 15 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL OCCURRED FROM THE 19TH THROUGH
THE 21ST. TEMPERATURES ONCE AGAIN RETURNED TO FAIRLY CLOSE TO NORMAL
VALUES DURING THE LAST WEEK OF NOVEMBER.
SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL MOVED THROUGH PORTIONS OF LOWER MICHIGAN ON THE
21ST. IN FACT 0.89 INCHES OF RAINFALL ON THE 21ST IN LANSING WAS A
RECORD RAINFALL FOR THE DATE... BREAKING THE PREVIOUS RECORD OF 0.77
INCHES FOR THAT DATE IN 1979. MEASURABLE SNOW WAS ALSO RECORDED
ACROSS PORTIONS OF OUR AREA ON THE 21ST AND 22ND. GRAND RAPIDS HAD
4 10THS OF AN INCH OF SNOW ON THE 21ST AND 6 10THS OF AN INCH
ON THE 22ND. LANSING HAD 1.9 INCHES OF SNOW ON THE 22ND. THERE WERE
SEVERAL REPORTS OF ONE TO THREE INCHES OF SNOW WHICH FELL FROM THE
EVENING HOURS OF THE 22ND THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS OF THE 23RD
ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL LOWER MICHIGAN.
HIGH NON-THUNDERSTORM WINDS WERE REPORTED ON THE 6TH. WIND GUSTS OF
35 TO 50 MPH WERE REPORTED ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA WITH EVEN HIGHER
GUSTS IN THE 55 TO 65 MPH RECORDED IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE LAKE
MICHIGAN SHORELINE.
