October brought record-low temperatures in San Antonio and record highs in Imperial, Nebraska, amid sharply varying conditions across the Plains. Forecasts point to above-normal November precipitation in parts of the Southern Plains, Kansas and southwest Nebraska, with a strengthening El Niño expected to persist through winter.
