"Witch Storms: Severe Weather Pattern Threatens Midwest in November"

November weather brings a mix of conditions as fall transitions into winter. The Midwest experiences intense windstorms known as "Witch storms," which can cause tree damage and power outages. Many cities in the Northeast, Midwest, and lower elevations of the West see their first accumulating snow. November is typically the cloudiest month in parts of the Northern Plains and upper Midwest. Severe weather outbreaks, including tornadoes, can occur when warm, humid air meets cold fronts and jet stream winds. November marks the end of the Atlantic hurricane season, with lower storm activity. Florida enters its dry season, while the West Coast experiences an intensification of the wet season.
