The Middle Atlantic, Northern Plains, Northwest and Southwest may see a wetter than normal month. Drier than usual weather is in the forecast for portions of the Southern Plains. https://twitter.com/NWSCPC/status/1174671503016644608 The Climate Prediction Center notes that the "October monthly outlook always represents a considerable challenge in short term climate prediction." Since the month falls during a transitional season period, October "historically is one in which predictability is low." Model guidance and long term climate trends were the main factors used in the forecast.
