I don't remember these before. It's strange to have a rain storm so late in the year.

(28,082 posts)I remember a January rainstorm years ago that turned to ice then snow. It was a mess.
I don't remember walking out to my garage in a November drizzle and noticing how warm it was.

Kidding aside, I remember a thunderstorm and tornado the day before Thanksgiving growing up in Alabama.

Looking at the radar, it appears yours is not connected to the big one which is covering most of the eastern part of the country.
And rare for here this time of year.
As is high 70's this month..
this is the kind of storm we usually get in spring...except last year we got it in Feb.

(19,818 posts)A November that hasn't dropped below freezing once. Nov is usually one of our coldest months.
BUT as the maggot says......
Climate change is bunk.

(11,843 posts)this November. Points north have been colder, of course.
And November is behind Dec, Jan, and Feb in terms of coldest.
But no doubt it has been warmer than average.
