November and severe weather aren't often linked together but a few central Illinois communities can testify to the fact severe weather in the non-traditional severe weather months can be treacherous.

Washington and Taylorville have been victims of severe weather in the fall and Ed Shimon with the National Weather Service in Lincoln says while those storms are certainly outliers, severe weather can pop up in November.

The rest of November is looking to be on the dry side and cooler but December is calling for above-normal temperatures and above-normal precipitation.
