Since it is near the end of October, let’s take a look at the monthly climate conditions. The summary maps from the High Plains Regional Climate Center show that temperature varied across the region, with the warmest areas in the west and cooler than normal conditions in the east. Precipitation varied across the region, with the wettest conditions near the coast due to the coastal low that formed there earlier in the month, but most of the remainder of the region was drier than normal, even with the rain that fell last weekend.
