Diverse October Weather Forecasts
Regional Forecasts Signal Varied Weather Conditions and Frost Risks Across North America
Anonymous
Forecasts point to varied weather across several regions as October begins. Tulsa could receive 1–4 inches of rain from Wednesday through Friday, with localized flash flooding the main concern and a limited risk of damaging winds or a brief tornado. South Carolina is expected to remain hot and dry through much of Friday before weekend showers or thunderstorms, with heavy rain the main concern and severe weather not expected. Western Wisconsin could see cooler weather, weekend showers and possibly its first widespread frost early next week; Calgary is forecast to cool briefly before warming Friday. Other columns discuss cooking with pantry ingredients and October traditions and skywatching, including Jupiter, Mars, Saturn and Orion.
Key Points

In the strongest Tulsa storms, downpours could produce rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour, with repeated storms over the same locations increasing the risk of flash flooding.
2
South Carolina’s weekend storms could bring lightning delays to Clemson and South Carolina football games; the forecast calls for possible rainfall totals of 1 to 3 inches in some locations.
3
South Carolina could reach near 90 degrees Thursday and Friday, potentially making it the area’s last stretch of 90-degree heat this year; Columbia’s average final 90-degree day is September 26.

The “Spend-it September” column describes a prompt to use saved-up pantry ingredients and other items rather than continually reserving them for a supposedly better occasion; the writer says the idea came from a “Happier with Gretchen Rubin” podcast episode.
