Near to record warmth may occur in multiple occasions in the first half of November with a couple rounds of storms (severe weather risk too).
One brief cool snap may occur around November 11, but we may have to wait until after November 20 for a good hard freeze.
Wind will blow many leaves down, but this weather support a long-lasting fall color season that is cut short in some years by hard freezes.
