Cooler, but above normal
Every day this month has been warmer than normal in the Twin Cities.
For the month, the temperature at Minneapolis -St. Paul International Airport is running 14.4 degrees above normal.
All of Minnesota is seeing a warm November, but highs will dip a bit today:
Most spots will see highs in the 50s today, but we could touch 50 in part of the Twin Cities metro area.

November clouds
We've enjoyed a lot of sunny days this November.
With all the sun-splashed days, it's hard to believe that November is typically our cloudiest month of the year in the Twin Cities.
On average, we only have 39% of possible sunshine in November:
December is typically our second cloudiest month of the year in the Twin Cities, and July is our sunniest month.
I hope that you are enjoying our bonus sunshine!
