Please remember that Weather Underground precipitation data reflects what is recorded automatically through the tipping bucket VP2 gauge. I actually use the data I post to CoCoRaHS from my 4″ CoCoRaHS gauge I read manually as my “official” precipitation total each day.

Friday had 0.00″ of rain. October 2018 has had 1.28″ of rainfall at my location with my year-to-date precipitation remaining at 49.70″.

Overnight Thursday into Thursday was clear, cool, and calm. This morning was the first day of the fall season with mins in the 30s. I did not observe any frost at my location, but nearby, more favorable spots for frost did have some. The last time I had a min temp in the 30s was 39° on April 30.

Overnight Friday into Saturday was cloudy with temps holding in the 50s. Occasional light rain has started to fall. .
