Seattle reached 67°F on Wednesday, Nov. 11, breaking the daily record high of 65°F set in 1990. The reading is preliminary until it gets a final quality check. A colder system is due in northern California and the Pacific Northwest on Monday, Nov. 16, with moderate to heavy snow in the Sierra Nevada.

**What's new:** Added our records map.

## Key points

- This is a daily record only. It is not a November record and not an all-time record.
- Climate records like this one get a formal review later, so the final number could be adjusted.
- Cooler air is coming. A stronger, colder system is due to push into northern California and the Pacific Northwest on Monday, Nov. 16, with moderate to heavy snow in the Sierra Nevada. Our [winter storm outlook](/winter) has the details. Exact snow levels and totals that far out are still less certain.
- If you're in the Seattle area, the mild air isn't built to last into next week.
