Heading into the heart of fall (October) and it's probably my favorite month of the year. The seasonal transition from summer to winter is in full display. Parts of the state can get some of the first snows of the year and temperature changes become more extreme.
We showed this information a few nights ago on the air, but the last three years have had snow in October. The growing season ended rapidly with a big cold snap that happened just days before Halloween. 
First, October averages look like this:
Average first fall frost tends to happen in October:
October rainfall: We are getting some nice rain heading into the start of the new month and I think there's a decent chance the month (as a whole) could be slightly wetter than normal. Doesn't take much because our average rain is only a couple of inches in much of the state anyway. Here's the latest 30 day outlook for precipitation.
I think October 2021 will tend to be a little warmer than normal, so we may not get that early snow that the last three years have had.
