After a Cool October, Expect Seesaw November Weather
The metro Atlanta weather in October was cooler than normal, with temperatures averaging anywhere from 1.1 degrees below normal in Atlanta to 1.4 degrees below normal in Athens. Here in Lawrenceville, the mean temperature of 59.0 degrees during the month was two degrees below the average of 61. Some areas saw an early frost, although the low temperatures were typically too warm for a hard freeze.
On the rainfall side, we had 2.95 inches of rain during the month from two rainy periods, just slightly below normal. Atlanta’s 3.01 inches was just under the normal of 3.11 inches.
Across the country, however, winter hit early, and strong. Buffalo had as much as two feet of snow on October 12th and 13th, which caused extensive problems because the leaves were still on the trees. It took over a week for the city to recover. Meanwhile, in Denver, 18 inches of blizzard-like snow on the 26th caused area ski resorts to think about opening up early.
A front will pass through the area tonight, bringing cooler than normal weather for the next few days. However, it looks like the period from the 6th through the 15th will be warmer than normal, with temperatures near 70, compared to normal highs around 66. After Election Day, we may see a wetter period than normal as well.
