If this pattern maintains itself for just a few more days and verifies all the way, we may be able to start looking at the possibility of a top 3 on record warm October in some places, especially from much of the SE through the NE and into much of the Midwest.
In these 3 SE locations, here are the warmest Octobers on record (hopefully I didn't miss any when I looked at the list):
1. RDU:
69.3 1919
68.1 1941
67.4 2007
65.8 2019
2. ATL:
70.8 1919
69.8 1984
69.6 2016
69.4 1941
3. Nashville, TN:
68.2 1919
67.9 1947
