The entire month of October has only recorded one day with measurable rainfall (0.13" at the Metro Airport on October 4th). The remainder of the month has seen a lack of rain and continues to look unlikely in the next 7 days. Based on current trends, it's possible that this October could rank as one of the top 10 driest. The Storm Station will be keeping an eye on the drought status as a result. The next update comes on Thursday.
