Palisade 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 65 and a low near 41, with about 1.7 inches of precipitation. Today's forecast high of 67 sits right on the normal 66.

This is peach and wine country, so a late frost in April or a hailstorm in July matters more here than almost anywhere in Colorado. Through 19 days of October, the warmest afternoon has been 86° and the coolest morning 35°. The month is averaging 8.9 degrees warmer than the thirty year normal.

When it rains in Palisade

October normally brings 1.7 inches of precipitation. So far this month 6 days have measured precipitation, 1.4 inches in total. In the current forecast the chance peaks around 12 PM at 65 percent. 3 of the next seven days carry a chance of 30 percent or better.
