October 2020 is almost over. The maps from the High Plain Regional Climate Center are showing that precipitation across the region is pretty close to normal, with above normal values in the northern half where tropical rain has fallen, and below normal amounts in the southern half. Temperatures across the region have been quite a bit warmer than normal. The result is that the Climate Prediction Center is showing that drought development is now likely in southern Georgia due to the warm and dry conditions and the likely climate associated with the current La Nina over the winter.
