SUMMARY: As September ends and October begins, average rainfall typically drops below 4 inches, with high temperatures starting around the mid-80s and ending in the mid-70s. Locally, temperatures are expected to rise near 90 midweek due to a high-pressure system. While an upper low brings cloud cover and scattered showers, it will move away, allowing for more sunshine. In the tropics, active systems include Tropical Storm Kirk, which may develop into a major hurricane but poses no local threat. Overall, expect seasonable conditions with patchy fog, seasonal temperatures, and a pleasant upcoming weekend.
