QUESTION: It is fairly close. it's definitely the closest airport to us. About a 15-20 minute drive. Thanks for your help.
Christina
Answer
Christina,
The normal high temperature that time of year is 63, and the normal low is 49.
The record high temperature for October 20th is in the low 80s, and the record low is right around freezing.
Barring any influence from tropical moisture, late October is generally a dry time of the year with rain occurring about once every three or four days.
I hope this helped!
Sincerely,
Dave Dombek
