Montrose weather in October

The record

October is when the valley lets go of summer, a few degrees at a time. Normal for October here is a high near 64 and a low near 35, with about 1.3 inches of precipitation. Today's forecast high of 64 sits right on the normal 64.

The town sits in a broad valley between the Uncompahgre Plateau and the San Juans, so storms are usually something you watch build rather than sit under. Through 19 days of October, the warmest afternoon has been 80° and the coolest morning 34°. The month is averaging 6.1 degrees warmer than the thirty year normal.

When it rains in Montrose

October normally brings 1.3 inches of precipitation. So far this month 9 days have measured precipitation, 1.6 inches in total. In the current forecast the chance peaks around 12 PM at 67 percent. 5 of the next seven days carry a chance of 30 percent or better.
