JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The roller coaster of weather we are on will gain downside momentum, as our record tying high temperature on Wednesday will be a distant memory by Friday morning. Winds will slowly shift from a warm southerly breeze to a stiff northerly breeze before sunrise on Thursday. After one final shower before 7 a.m., expect wall to wall blue skies and breezy - chilly conditions. Sunrise temperatures will be in the 50s and they never really warm up. By Friday and Saturday mornings, inland temperatures will be in the 30s and beaches temperatures will be in the 40s.

“If the month ended now, it would rank as the third coldest on record, but we don’t think we’re gonna finish there,” Borchardt said Thursday morning. “Toward the end of the month we’re going trend back to normal. It looks like toward the end of next week, we should start to get back to normal.”

There has never been so long a stretch of 70-plus-degree days so late in the year since the weather service began record keeping in the city in 1871, according to Todd Kluber, a meteorologist with the agency. At 10:12 a.m., when it warmed to 70 degrees at O’Hare International Airport, the city’s official weather recording site, 2020 made that historic first. Myriad other warm-weather records were set this week.

In 1953 there had been five consecutive November days with a temperature higher than 70 degrees, and by notching six this year, that record was toppled. There also had been a long-standing late-season record of six consecutive days of 70 degrees or higher, from Oct. 27 to Nov. 1, 1950. Since this six-day stretch comes later in the season, that record also was felled.

It’s expected to be so unseasonably warm for so long that Chicago could match a nearly 70-year-old record and Rockford could mark five consecutive days with a temperature of 70 degrees or warmer in November for the first time.
