Joe Lundberg from AccuWeather discussed the recent rainfall, noting an inch to an inch and a half of rain, which while helpful, only minimally impacted the ongoing drought as the region is still an inch below normal for the month to date. To return to normal precipitation levels by March, an additional 28 inches of rain is needed, which is unlikely given the current forecast. Temperatures are expected to remain below average, with daytime highs in the 50s and 60s. A potential storm is forecasted around Halloween, which could affect local activities.
