Though strong storm systems affected other parts of the country during November, conditions were fairly quiet in southern Indiana and central Kentucky. Our strongest thunderstorms took place before dawn on the 6th as a broken line of storms moved through with 40-50mph winds. Some branches were blown down and a few weak trees were split near Rhoda in Edmonson County.

The first and last weeks of the month were warm, with seasonable temperatures in between. There were no significant cold outbreaks.
