October is usually the driest and foggiest month of the year for us, but we could be seeing our monthly average rainfall in a matter of the next 36 hours. This will disrupt the cleaning process that is taking place right now from the destructive flooding from last month.

This is the 7 day forecast from The Weather Channel. TWC is trending colder for Saturday and warming up the low for Friday Night which is leading me to believe they think temps will be falling and holding steady into the 30's for Saturday afternoon.

Looking at possible a similar situation here. Hope this is a sign of things to come this winter
