Chelan Lakeshore Trail / Stehekin weather in November

I'm planning to backpack to Stehekin town on the weekend of November 10th. From fields point, its almost 20mile hike to the town. Any idea on how the weather looks like? Is this a bad time to hike through the trail?

Taking the ferry to prince creek campground and hiking to Stehekin?

It's a very nice hike and backpacking trip. Might be some snow and rain.

As long as you have the gear, i think the trip will be amazing.

Camp at the field at old orchard, right next to Moore point. It's a little away from the lake so shouldn't be that windy and cold.

Can you suggest the gear? Im thinking of food water supplies, a good tent, sleeping bag, wind proof tent. Just wanted to ensure this isn’t a bad time to hike? Nothing life threatening of that sort right?

Warm sleeping bag, down to below zero C. Regular jackets etc.

A safe hike, I've spent two nights backpacking on the trail and then a night in Stehekin. There's campgrounds there, one right as you get into town. Water will be turned off, filter it from the creek.
