Usually El Nino favors a wet October.

Several things we will need to monitor as we end September and begin October. There are some indications that the sub tropical jet may begin to get rather noisy possibly increasing our rain chances next weekend into the first full week of October. There also are growing indications that the Polar Jet Stream may begin to buckle as the teleconnection indices respond and cooler weather develops East of the Rockies. Another potential fly in the ointment is a landfalling Eastern Pacific tropical cyclone bringing some healthy rainfall chances across Texas during early October. Fingers crossed, we will finally see a real change in the weather pattern that brings moisture back to areas that need it across the Lone Star State.

If the 12Z GFS is correct, a fairly strong early Fall cold front will pass Sunday afternoon into early next Monday. Temperatures in the low 60's to low 70's for daytime highs should feel refreshing...if the models are correct. ;)
