For weather, you can check history graphs on weatherspark.com. Here's the Weatherspark Lincoln IL link.

The controls are a bit confusing. But you can drag the slider at the bottom back in time, and pull one end of the slider edge to compress the individual days down into week or month averages. There's a day-by-day averages section, then farther to the left, actual daily data going back years. Checking early November for the last few years, you could see highs of 75F or 38F, depending on the day.

It shows that the mean high in early November is 55F, and the mean low is 38F. Record lows are in the mid 20s and record highs near 75. Afternoons should be decent. But the temperatures can swing from warm to freezing in a day or two.

A link to last year's November graph. It's the red and blue graph in the middle of the page.

I like weatherspark. It has great radar maps, where you can play back the radar from hours ago, to see the direction of the rain. It has 4 sources for forecasts, which almost never agree with each other!
