November can feature Midwest "witch storms," first snows for some and severe weather. Hurricane season comes to a close. Florida's dry season begins as the wet season ramps up in the West. November can be a dynamic weather month since the handoff between fall and winter is fully underway, and that means there's often a mix of weather conditions in any given year. Here are a few things we watch for, beginning with a spooky-sounding nickname for a type of storm.

By Jennifer Gray21 hours agoGraupel resembles Dippin' Dots ice cream and is often confused with hail or sleet. It's actually ice pellets that are less than five millimeters in diameter. Graupel is often mistaken for sleet or small hail, because the appearance is quite similar. These tiny ice pellets originate from snowflakes. As the flakes fall, supercooled water droplets cling to them and freeze, forming small round or conical grains of ice.

Death, taxes, and GFS Caribbean boguscanes this early.
Not surprisingly, GFS has dropped its long range fantasy Caribbean storm. It seems likely that any development in the next couple weeks will be on the East Pacific side of Central America. Pretty typical for this time of year. https://t.co/Po1dv2ncBq
Parts of the Northeast will be soaked today. At least it's not a damaging #snow storm, like 48 years ago today. https://t.co/HS9Eq9MRCS https://t.co/rsbpsoUpFl
This is an excellent idea. In most years, it's #heat, not directly the hurricane's forces, that claims the most lives in the U.S. Some of these happen in the storm's aftermath.
NHC and the Weather Prediction Center (WPC) are planning to highlight areas that are at risk of heat impacts after a storm due to power loss in NHC’s Tropical Cyclone Public Advisory and Key Messages, when appropriate this season. Find out more information here https://t.co/jtT4zr8YAv
