AN Temps BN Rain
Looks like SD was right. Above normal temps for his location. Also above normal temps for parts of Alabama.
Meh ... west of the Apps again...Feb 21...

Y'all do know the map I posted above in this thread is sarcasm, right? Just so we are clear. Carry on!
Yes and you can certainly get cold in October too. It was around freezing in Tulsa in Mid-October last year.Yeah I knew because our entire forecast is above normal here
But it's nothing unusual either I tried to tell people we get hot weeks in October

...has become a permanent fixture over the past few months and it won't go away. We're having to count on backdoor fronts and they only go so far. Ironically, we haven't had a true sweeping front for everyone since early in Sept and August. We need that ridge to our west to break down and allow the fronts to come through and stay. If this continues it will be another west of Apps winter.

Here's a state-by-state breakdown in table format, including average high/low temperatures (based on 1991–2020 normals adjusted for forecasted anomalies of +1–3°F), precipitation trends, and general weather notes. These are probabilistic outlooks; local variations (e.g., coastal vs. inland) could occur.
My prediction: This October leans toward a "second summer" vibe—warmer and less rainy than typical, making it prime for leaf-peeping in the Carolinas or beach trips in Florida. However, if La Niña strengthens (71% chance by October–December), we could see sharper cool fronts late-month. For real-time updates, check NOAA's CPC as we approach.
State Avg. High/Low (°F) Precipitation Trend Weather Notes South Carolina 78–60 (warmer than normal) Below average (1–2" total, 20–30% drier) Sunny and pleasant early; scattered thunderstorms mid-month; cooler, drier close to Halloween. Low tropical risk but watch Atlantic coast. Georgia 79–58 (warmer than normal) Below average (1.5–2.5" total, drier overall) Warm starts with light showers; fair skies late-month. Good for festivals, but dry spells could heighten fire risk in north. North Carolina 76–55 (near to slightly warmer) Below average (2–3" total, especially south) Variable: Warm and sunny early, regional showers mid-October; cooler in mountains. Foliage peak mid-month amid mild conditions. Alabama 80–56 (warmer than normal) Below to near average (2–3" total, stormy stretches) Pleasant for fall events; thunderstorms possible around mid-month, but fair Halloween weather. Humid early, drier late. Florida 84–68 (warmer than normal) Below average (1–2" total, drier than normal) Steamy and sunny; minimal rain, ideal for beaches. Above-normal heat persists, with low storm risk but potential for isolated showers.
It got to 100 here in early October 2019, which set our all-time record. Of course, that’s the RDU sensor…People already complaining it's never ever ever been hot in October before
It's gonna be a long month

Common side effects are: rash, nausea, diarrhea, headache, vomiting, above normal temps, below normal rain, fever, feelings of depression, malaise, suicidal thoughts, nervousness, crappy MJO, Alaskan Ridge, zonal flow.Coming to a pharmacy near you.
Cooler in WNC than it is in Southern Ontario. Wedge for the win! I'll be interested in seeing if this pattern continues as well, although I won't complain about CAD winter.Yeah, unfortunately this heat dome over the Midwest...

Yeah, it was wild. It broke our record for the month by like 2F and the daily record by 9!Wow really?
Our record is only 98 I thinklong time ago though... The 1930s were just awful here. Every heat record goes back to then
