In one for the books, last month was the sixth-wettest October on record, with more than 8 inches of rain measured at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport.
The month marked a big change from the way the region began the year, said Dan Huckaby, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Fort Worth office."A year ago we were talking about the prospects for drought, and now we’re talking about the opposite," he said. Dallas-Fort Worth has not received this much rain in October since 1994, when 8.19 inches fell, according to the weather service. It is too early to tell whether this October is similar to 1991, when the third-wettest October preceded an El Niño weather pattern that brought intense flooding in December."We may want to wait a few weeks before we make that determination," Huckaby said.
