According to AccuWeather Chief Long Range Meteorologist Paul Pastelok, "Parts of the eastern half of the nation may challenge record highs during the third week of November."

Temperatures could rival records set as far back as the 1920s in Central Park.
"Areas along the Atlantic Seaboard may have some trouble with clouds and cool air off the ocean at times, but the overall pattern does not look winterlike in the East," Pastelok said.
As of Nov. 13, 2015, temperatures this month have averaged near 58 F or 8 degrees above normal in New York City.
Considering the warmth of the past couple of weeks and the upcoming warmth, this month could end up being one of the warmest Novembers on record. The warmest month on record at Central Park was in 2001, when temperatures averaged 52.1 F.
