They lean towards warmer than normal temperatures for both October and the October-December period across the region. This is based on long-term warming trends along with the neutral ENSO conditions we are currently in. For precipitation, there is a band of higher probability of wetter than normal conditions along the East Coast for both the one-month and three-month periods. CPC also indicates that current areas of drought are likely to continue and could expand. Not a big surprise considering how dry we have been and are predicted to continue to be, as well as experiencing temperatures 15-20 degrees above normal after our brief respite this past week (at least in some areas).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2019\/09\/oct-19-temp-outlook.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-17958\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2019\/09\/oct-19-temp-outlook-300x295.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"295\" \/> \u00a0 <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2019\/09\/oct-19-precip-outlook.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-17959\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2019\/09\/oct-19-precip-outlook-300x295.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"295\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2019\/09\/ond-19-temp-outlook.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-17960\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2019\/09\/ond-19-temp-outlook-300x295.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"295\" \/><\/a> \u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2019\/09\/ond-19-precip-outlook.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-17961\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2019\/09\/ond-19-precip-outlook-300x295.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"295\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2019\/09\/seasonal-drought-outlook-oct-19.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-17962\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2019\/09\/seasonal-drought-outlook-oct-19-300x232.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2019\/09\/seasonal-drought-outlook-oct-19-300x232.png 300w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2019\/09\/seasonal-drought-outlook-oct-19-768x593.png 768w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2019\/09\/seasonal-drought-outlook-oct-19.png 792w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest monthly and seasonal outlooks were released by NOAA&#8217;s Climate Prediction Center earlier this week.
