While it isn't going to be the driest on record, October finished very dry.

Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service in Lincoln indicates October was a very dry month.

October was not the driest on record; however, it was trending to be a top-10 warmest month. Shimon indicates the last few days of October were below normal for temperatures, so that may have impacted the final numbers. 

Most of October was rather pleasant thanks to plenty of sunshine throughout the month. Shimon indicates that over half the month saw conditions favorable to partly sunny or mostly sunny.

As we get into November, we'll have more with Shimon later this week on the traditional winter months outlook. Visit weather.gov/Lincoln for more information on weather data and forecasts.
