WGAL News 8 Storm Team · 19 hours ago · OCTOBER PREVIEW 2026 is flying by as we begin the final 3 months of the year! As we continue to lose daylight and the colder weather prepares to move in, here is a look at the average number for October. Our average high temperature will drop from 72° in the beginning of the month to 60° by Halloween. At night, we say goodbye to the 50s and drop to the low 40s. For precipitation, we usually receive about 3.81" of rainfall. October also begins our series of average snowfall totals. On average, we receive 0.2" of snow in October. Don't get too excited snow-lovers, the last time we had measurable snowfall in the month of October was on October 29, 2011 during the Halloween nor'easter. The average first measurable snowfall for a majority of the Susquehanna Valley isn't until around or after Thanksgiving. Below are the temperature and precipitation outlooks from the Climate Prediction Center. These maps show where the pattern favors above or below average temperatures & precipitation. Both maps give south central Pennsylvania an equal chance for either outcome, meaning the overall pattern doesn't lean one way or the other. Overall, a "typical" October is expected in both categories.

84 for the high today.
