Unseasonably high temperatures due to strong high-pressure system
Record warmth continues to spread eastward across the Southern United States, as a strong high-pressure system brings unseasonably high temperatures. Many areas are experiencing temperatures 15–20 degrees above normal for this time of year, creating a July-like atmosphere in November from Texas to Missouri. Texarkana recently reached 86°F, breaking its previous record for the date. This unusual warmth is due to a persistent high-pressure ridge that is dominating the region's weather patterns.
